Specifying IP's for NS'es is illegal - NS'es should be hostnames - 
themselves posessing A or AAAA records (for the interest of quick lookup 
times these hostnames should be from within the domain they're NS'ing 
for...)  In other words, you should have:

@ IN NS ns1
@ IN NS ns2
@ IN NS ns3
ns1 IN A 216.104.158.222
ns2 IN A 216.104.128.37
ns3 IN A 216.104.128.38


> wa4phy.net.             A       216.104.158.222
this is just "@ A ..."
> vortex.wa4phy.net.      A       216.104.158.222
this is just "vortex A ..."
> ns.wa4phy.net.          A       216.104.158.222
this is just "ns A ..."
> localhost               A       127.0.0.1
this is weird because it is localhost.wa4phy.net. A 127.0.0.1
> 1       IN      PTR             localhost.wa4phy.net.
Ah so maybe the weird localhost is what you wanted?
