rit.edu	nameserver = ns3.isc.rit.edu
rit.edu	nameserver = ns1.appliedtheory.com
rit.edu	nameserver = ns2.appliedtheory.com
rit.edu	nameserver = ns3.appliedtheory.com
rit.edu	nameserver = ns1.isc.rit.edu
rit.edu	nameserver = ns2.isc.rit.edu

I tried on one of these name servers for the name server for
"ntid.rit.edu" and found that it wasn't there.  However, the CNAME
appeared to be.  When values appear and disappear, and there are
multiple servers like this, one step would be to check each one for the
values for which you're looking.

Of course, they should NOT be appearing and disappearing so quickly.
But I didn't look at the TTL of that information.
