single domain fails lookup?

[Jim Warren]

I am having the same kind of problem with this domain: omniairintl.com
with dig @dns.coam.net omniairintl.com
i get a SERVFAIL id: 6
interestingly, i have the same results from my secondary dns,
ns1.espire.net

but, if I use other nameservers (say, ns.utah.edu, or their nameservers,
ns1.netaxs.net or ns2....) the lookup is successful....

so far, i have found no other domains like that, and my hints/root-servers
file seems to be "fine" ... at least it seems to function for other
lookups...

is there some widespread, but "intermittent" problem that anyone is aware
of?
does anyone have any ideas about where to start trying to fix this?

thanks!!
