Please post the zone file for espersonline.com and too the corresponding
part of the named.conf.

I currently get

;; ANSWER SECTION:
espersonline.com.       172793  IN      NS      ns1.espersonline.com.

and

$ dig -t ANY espersonline.com @ns1.epsersonline.com
dig: Couldn't find server 'ns1.epsersonline.com': Name or service not
known
