I think you have it Lynn. In the late 90's, my employer had a contract
with Wells Fargo Bank to help plan and execute the move of a major data
center from San Francisco to Roseville CA. As you might suspect, we
became close friends with the WF IT folk. It so happened that my
employer had recently purchased Network Solutions Inc., then the sole
Internet domain registrar. At that point, they were updating the DNS
network daily.
While in a WF facility in PHX, I began to get what looked like random
numbers on my pager [remember those?] On the premise that someone
REALLY wanted to contact me, I began putting parts of the numbers into
my Palm Pilot Zero [remember those?]. Mike [WF IT guy in SF] popped up,
I called and asked if he was trying to reach me. In a huge panic, he
said, "wellsfargo.com had disappeared from the Internet. Can you call
NS since you own them and get it fixed."
I did, they fixed it but it took about 12 hours to propagate everywhere.
We tend to take things like the telephone and Internet for granted
these days, actually we did then too. They do occasionally have
hiccups. For the record, the Elecraft site comes up fine in NW Nevada.

Based on the zone's serial number, there have been no changes to their
DNS since July 2013.
The zone has a 3 hour TTL, meaning that no provider should cache it
longer than 3 hours.
Most likely something just plain broke somewhere, and some providers
don't have a route to Elecraft's host.
