; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> Aragonsworld.net ns @ns1.Aragonsworld.net. 
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_nsend to server ns1.Aragonsworld.net.  208.190.106.2: Connection refused

Which normally means one of two things : server is not running or
port 53 is blocked "en route".
