Servfail

I recently transferred my domain (gigagig.org) to a new registrar and I am having some trouble getting the zone served from a new DNS server. Something is clearly wrong, but I have no idea what. Any help would be apreciated.

I'm (attempting) to use public-dns.org (a free DNS with web admin front end) to master my zone.

When I try to test using dig, I am not getting proper resolution, only SERVFAIL errors:

avalon:jimmy:/home/jimmy 249> dig @dns1.public-dns.net gigagig.org

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @dns1.public-dns.net gigagig.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 21829
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;gigagig.org. IN A

dig gives the right answer when I use my old registrar's DNS:
avalon:jimmy:/home/jimmy 250> dig @dns25.register.com gigagig.org

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @dns25.register.com gigagig.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

gigagig.org. 86400 IN A 64.81.64.214

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
gigagig.org. 86400 IN NS dns25.register.com.
gigagig.org. 86400 IN NS dns26.register.com.

Is it perhaps the NS records on the old DNS getting in the way? What can I do to fix this?

Code:

[root@vaio vids]# dnsqr a gigagig.org
1 gigagig.org:
97 bytes, 1+1+2+0 records, response, noerror
query: 1 gigagig.org
answer: gigagig.org 86400 A 64.81.64.214
authority: gigagig.org 86400 NS dns25.register.com
authority: gigagig.org 86400 NS dns26.register.com
[root@vaio vids]#

dns2[56].register.com are still the designated authorities for gigagig.org. Have you changed the authorative name servers for your domain to the your new DNS servers?
