look for it in the root zone files, if you have them.
as far as I know, the root servers will no longer hand out A records directly. They only hand out NS records and the corresponding A records. I would guess the host is still refered to by another domain (or was when netsol did their purge). I'd go get a copy but I can't find my online password, and my hardcopy records are at the other office... that said, the problem with "we have a problem with ns5.luxadmin.org" is not actually stated.
