You can answer that better than I.  What would cause the resolver used by 
your browser to query ns1.mpflea.com?  That depends on what's in the 
resolv.conf on the machine from which you're running your web browser, and 
maybe on what's in the resolv.conf on ns1.mpflea.com.

DNS for mpflea.net is currently set to:
mpflea.net      nameserver = dns2.web.com.
mpflea.net      nameserver = dns1.web.com.

I don't know how your provider (web.com) works, but maybe you could set up 
your server to be authoritative, and the web.com nameservers can slave 
off your box.  You'd have three NS records - dns2.web.com, dns1.web.com, 
and ns1.mpflea.net.
