Cute ... I can only reproduce this when querying your server
(ns.sentex.ca or ns2.sentex.ca) directly:

% nslookup -type=a mail.spicer.com 
Server:  hellblazer.nectar.cc
Address:  10.0.1.11

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    mail.spicer.com
Address:  216.16.235.172

% nslookup -type=a mail.spicer.com ns.sentex.ca 
Server:  ns.sentex.ca
Address:  199.212.134.1

nslookup in free(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.
Name:    mail.spicer.com
Address:  216.16.235.172


I wonder does this have anything to do with your TTL == 0 for those
records?  Why are they zero, by the way?

When querying your server directly, I get back two identical A
records.  When having another server to a recursive query for me, I
get back a single A record.  hrm.

Will poke around,
