    Is the zone a standard Primary zone and is it stored in Active Directory?
    If it is stored in Active directory select the properties of the zone and
    deselect the option to store it in Active Directory, AD zones will always
    create NS records for the machine name. You don't want these records in your
    public zone.

    Once the zone is taken out of Active Directory, go to the Name Servers tab,
    remove the NS records for the two DCs.
    novagenetics.ca. IN NS

    ANSWER SECTION:
    novagenetics.ca. 3600 IN NS
    backupserver.novagenetics.local.
    novagenetics.ca. 3600 IN NS
    nova-server.novagenetics.local.

    Then add these two name servers NS records:
    DNS1: ns1.novagenetics.ca 209.121.79.149
    DNS2: bnbyps07.telus.net 207.194.28.230

    You also need to create a new record named ns1 with IP 209.121.79.149 this
    is your glue record, which you do not have glue right now. So right now your
    DNS server can't even resolve its own NS record.

    On the SOA tab change the primary name server to ns1.novagenetics.com.
