Well, we _could_ perhaps be a little more helpful. 8^) Len's point is well
taken, though, that it would be nice to know exactly what's 'not working' for
you. <http://pda-architects.biz/> loads fine for me here. As to the DNS,
a.gtld.biz says:

% dig @a.gtld.biz. pda-architects.biz.

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @a.gtld.biz. pda-architects.biz.
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; pda-architects.biz, type = A, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
pda-architects.biz. 15M IN NS NS1.INFOEDG.COM.
pda-architects.biz. 15M IN NS NS2.INFOEDG.COM.
pda-architects.biz. 15M IN NS SUPERIOR.MIDDLECOAST.NET.

There are no glue (A) records for ns1 and ns2.infoedg.com, as there should be,
but we can find them anyway via normal look-ups. ns1.infoedg.com says:

% dig @ns1.infoedg.com. pda-architects.biz. +norecurse

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @ns1.infoedg.com. pda-architects.biz. +norecurse
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
pda-architects.biz. 1D IN A 63.220.247.67

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
pda-architects.biz. 1D IN NS ns1.infoedg.com.
pda-architects.biz. 1D IN NS superior.middlecoast.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.infoedg.com. 1D IN A 63.220.247.78
superior.middlecoast.net. 1D IN A 216.120.196.11

The same query to superior.middlecoast.net gets the same answer, but
ns2.infoedg.com times out (i.e., no response). Since ns2.infoedg.com is listed
as authoritative by the gtld.biz name servers, it needs to be set up to answer
authoritatively for the zone.

For www.pda-architects.biz., both ns1.infoedg.com and superior.middlecoast.net
say:

www.pda-architects.biz. 1D IN CNAME www.infoedg.com.
www.infoedg.com. 5M IN A 209.10.147.49

And I can load <http://www.pda-architects.biz/> in a browser also. The only
thing I can see wrong at this point is that ns2.infoedg.com is not responding,
at least for the architects.biz. zone. If there's something else that you need
to do with the zone, you'll need to give us more of a hint... ;-)
