a.root-servers.net gives two nameservers. One of them is the IP you
indicated. However... It looks the nameservers have no idea the domain
exists, did you tell them about it?

[nslookup]
> server ns1.forsite.net
Default Server: ns1.forsite.net
Address: 204.180.42.2

> www.69-e.org.
Server: ns1.forsite.net
Address: 204.180.42.2

*** ns1.forsite.net can't find www.69-e.org.: Server failed
> server ns1.69-e.org
Default Server: ns1.69-e.org
Address: 204.180.41.254

> www.69-e.org.
Server: ns1.69-e.org
Address: 204.180.41.254

*** ns1.69-e.org can't find www.69-e.org.: Server failed
