I just dug mine straight from one of the roots and it returned a
record with a two day expiration time:


phydeaux.org.           2D IN NS        NS1.phydeaux.org.
phydeaux.org.           2D IN NS        NS2.phydeaux.org.


Presumably BS' server will see the new entry two days from the last
time it had to do a fresh fetch.  You can see the time left by using
dig yourself with something like:


dig @ns.atl.bellsouth.com yourdomian.com ns
