Lame delegation to server with cached NS data.

Hello,
While this is more of a DNS question than a BIND question I do
appreciate your help with this, as I'm having some trouble
understanding it.
The domain in question is wecdsb.on.ca when I query it returns an
answer only occasionally. This domain is not under our control or do I
have any authority over it.
I did a traversal of the domain at http://www.squish.net/dnscheck and
saw that one of the name servers for that domain ns4.dm.egate.net is
"Loop Detected! Probable cause is lame delegation to server with
cached NS data"
As far as I understand it that means the egate.net name server is
sending out the request for a question it already has the answer too
thereby creating a loop. Would that be correct? If so what could one
do to resolve that issue?
I've also tried looking up this domain against other name servers and
they too occasionally return a timed out result or no host.
How can I educate this customer that the 'problem' in question does
not exist on our network but his network layout?
Thanks so much.
Peter
