It seems you already fixed that and just forgot to tell the list.

This zone file does not contain an A RR for netcloudjobs.com itself, but
if I dig netcloudjobs.com now I do get one. So obviously you have added
it it the meantime.

Generally speaking:
1. fix the name resolution (you already did that)
2. fix the network connectivity and/or firewall issues preventing your
ping packets from getting through
