Weird DNS issues for domains

I'm hoping someone on the list can help confirm that I'm not going insane. I have a customer with the domain 'mtrsd.k12.ma.us' The domain should be handled by our DNS servers (dns-auth1.crocker.com dns- auth2.crocker.com) The customer has an A record for www.mtrsd.k12.ma.us

I just tested it from a Verizon DSL host and it worked. You might want to consider reading RFC 2182 though, particularly the part about geographically diverse nameservers. Yeah, yeah, that is overrated. If my site goes dark and my DNS goes down it doesn't really matter as the bandwidth

I'll defer to you on this. Clearly a failure to resolve is not the same thing as a NXDOMAIN RCODE. And yet, personal experience has show that the failure of all a customer's DNS servers for a domain does cause swifter mail bouncing than would occur otherwise. I do not know if it was due to the
