Need help investigating MX record

Hi - can you do a quick sanity check that the domain technouveau.com is active and loaded correctly? My situation is this - I registered my domain with domainregistry and set it up on zoneedit back when netscape was still a thing and haven't had a problem since.

I just use it with an MX record to forward email. The domain recently expired on domainregistry but even a week after renewing I get errors like
Code:
DNS Error: 10125903 DNS type 'mx' lookup of technouveau.com responded with code NXDOMAIN Domain name not found: technouveau.com
when sending email. Can you help me figure out if I have a registrar problem or a DNS problem?

I've checked domainregistry and the domain is active again and the nameservers are set to ns1.zoneedit.com and ns5.zoneedit.com. The "nameservers" tab on zoneedit said I can use dns1.zoneedit.com and dns2.zoneedit.com so I've added those as well. No dice.

MX record lookups from my local PC fail if I don't specify a particular nameserver but succeed if I specify any of the zoneedit servers.

Code:
$ nslookup -query=MX technouveau.com

*** router.asus.com can't find technouveau.com: Non-existent domain

Server:  router.asus.com

Address:  192.168.1.1





$ nslookup -query=MX technouveau.com ns1.zoneedit.com

Server:  UnKnown

Address:  45.77.82.193





technouveau.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = mx-caprica.zoneedit.com



The WHOIS record looks ok. I'm stumped, any ideas?
