Secondary DNS server setup but is listed as Missing (stealth) nameservers on dnsstuff.com

Jaycee

I currently have two DNS servers configured as a primary and secondary
servers that are used for external DNS at my company. I've added another
secondary DNS server, configured it, and tested that it resolved names.

However, when I run a test on DNSstuff.com it lists a "FAIL" for "missing
(stealth) nameservers" for the new DNS server. What do I have to do to make
sure that this error is cleared?

Here is more detail that is provided by DNSstuff.com:
FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following
nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your
domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or
may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the
authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make
sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding,
you may have serious problems! The DNSreport will not query these servers,
so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.

Thanks.

I figured it out after I did some research. I needed to contact the company
who manages our domain.
