Ok, thank you, this clarifies and explains the issue. Yes, the customer has troubles with his main internet link at the moment and uses this ip address as his backup link. I know he made mail.aerni.com pointing to the backup IP to be able to receive emails over the backup link. I guess he also changed the NS entries at his registrar, so his DNS Servers can be reachable at this IP for the time of the outage. I'll suggest to him that he should have a secondary outside of his network so DNS is not dead if his link dies.
