Seems like 'ns2' is not giving an ip-address for 'archive'; but does for
'archives' (plural).
And looks like 'ns' gives ip-addr ok for both archive/archives.
This was tested via both nslookup and dig. Output below from the nslookup
runs. 'dig', for the 'problem' case of ns2/archive, just gives a cname
only in the answer section:
====
;; ANSWER SECTION:
archive.linuxfromscratch.org. 900 IN CNAME archive.linuxfromscratch.org.
====
In web-browser, if use 'archives.' (plural) instead of 'archive.' (singular),
then always works ok as far as tested, for both lfs & blfs museums: and lfs
has 1.0 thru 7.0 & 'stable', while blfs has 1.0 thru 'snapshot-20121101';
so both look ok. If change back to just 'archive.' (singular) then get seq
of ok/broke/ok/broke/... (although alternating a bit more ~randomly): when
it's ok, both lfs & blfs museums show the apparently-correctly contents
as noted for the 'archives.' (plural) case.
