Users shouldn't have the IP address of ns2.granitecanyon.com in their
zone files!  The main problem is that NSI's whois db and thus the GTLD
servers have the old address.  The effect is that anyone who quotes the
two GC NSs really only has one contactable server at the moment.  It's
up to Granite Canyon's people (and they don't have a technical contact
listed in whois!) to update that.  In fact the whois record has a
different list of nameservers for the granitecanyon.com domain than
GC's servers are giving out - timely maintenance seems to be lacking.  :-(
