Your nslookup output is normal.  All this means is that your name server 
has, properly, cached the lookup - and since the cached copy comes from an 
NS that's not authoritative for the domain it's flaged as 
non-authoritative.  This is completely normal; nothing to worry about.  Go 
snag a copy O'Reilly's DNS and Bind and look at the nslookup chapter; page 
268 in the third edition.

The web site could be up or down; all you can tell from nslookup is that 
their name service is working correctly.  BTW, orionsupport.com's owner 
(not IronFlare...) has said several times that the web site is his 
development machine, and goes down occasionally when he needs it for other 
purposes.

Here's an example - I used a machine that hasn't looked up orionsupport.com 
recently, and did two nsllookups.  The first lookup came from 
orionsupport.com's name server, the second from our name server's 
cache.  Try it yourself on some random domain, like pigsareflying.com .

$ nslookup www.orionsupport.com
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    www.orionsupport.com
Address:  64.31.131.243

$ nslookup www.orionsupport.com
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.orionsupport.com
Address:  64.31.131.243
