As usual, this is caused by broken DNS setup at the domain in question. In this case the problem is that bell-mortgage.net's NS records point to ns1.kellywhitedesign.com and ns2.kellywhitedesign.com, which are also listed as the nameservers for kellywhitedesign.com, but both of them reply with NXDOMAIN for queries for ns1.kellywhitedesign.com and ns2. The effect of this is that an initial query or two succeeds thanks to the glue records returned by the .net / .com servers, but as soon as your local caching resolver looks up the ns[12].kellywhitedesign.com records, it gets NXDOMAIN which it will cache, and while it has that cached it will return SERVFAIL for any queries for domains served by those nameservers.
