Try putting an A record for the domain there. If you read the man page for dig,
type indicates what type of query is required — ANY, A, MX, SIG, etc. type can be any valid query type. If no type argument is supplied, dig will perform a lookup for an A record. by default dig is looking for an A record, and returns none, correctly, therefore, since there is no A record, no NS entries are provided, just the SOA. ..... I think.
