Now there's no one able to tell anyone where
NS.SNIPER-UNIX.ORG can be found ..

I'm sure TUCOWS (or the affiliate registrar that you appear to work with) has a web interface for managing domain records? In that case you can make the glue record(s) yourself.

The domain is probably marked 'inactive' because no DNS records are available right now -- so it fails basic sanity checks that most registrars have in place, like 'lame resolver' or 'lame delegation' errors.

Have the glue record(s) added by your registrar (or do it yourself if you have direct access via a GUI), make sure your own nameserver dishes out the correct records (esp. the NS records), and it'll come back to life.

If your registrar has no idea what you're on about, move your domain to a registrar who does, and who enables you to maintain your own glue records (like Tucows itself, or networksolutions, or godaddy ... etc.)

Hi!

Via my registrar (webpage) i did that, what you are talking about (i hope so)

If you try forward dns lookup for ns.sniper-unix.org it resolve to my correct IP address...
