Wouldn't know. We run our own DNS servers because of things like this. I have had a few clients that were having problems but that was a RR thing.

PS  We host DNS for $35.00 Per year.  No, we're not the cheapest.

They are FUBAR, and have been for several days. FYI, Worldnic was apparently bought out by Network Solutions. Their DNS servers for the past 4 days or so have apparently been acting in a way similar to lame nameservers. Specifically, they would respond to DNS requests with the "recursion desired" flag set, but not to DNS requests without that flag set (*unless* the answer was recently looked up).

I've been recommending that people with these domains [1] switch to a decent DNS hosting company (such as dnsmadeeasy.com), and once that is working, switch to a decent domain registrar (there are plenty out there).
