Because all you have to do is create an "A" record (host record) called
"www" (without the quotes) under the mysite.com zone name and provide the
correct IP address of their web server.

Did you create the www record?

The ns1.xxx.com sound ike it's Yahoo's DNS server.
Is their DNS server a webserver too? If not, I wouldn't point www.mysite.com
and mysite.com to that machine. That is supposed to be the nameserver that
is hosting the mysite.com zone name.
