You shouldn't need an A record for ns1.vision-media.com. in your
lassodeveloper.com. zone. It only needs an A record in the vision-media.com.
zone. About the only reason I can think of for having an A record in a given
zone for a host in some other zone is if you were delegating a sub-zone to
that host. That's not the case here -- lassodeveloper.com. has been delegated
to ns1.vision-media.com. by the gtld root servers. BTW, how come the zone is
delegated to only one name server? Seems a bit dangerous.
