JFC and all,

  One also may want to check out:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=tucows.com&token=02300d176b380b0e0d1014781e039019
 
Seems there are some config problems here that can encourage

response as only one name server seems to be answering up.

  So Ross, I am sure you can clean these DNS errors up in a
flash!  >:)
