I suspect it has something to do with the different error codes.  Notice
that in response to the tisbury.lightbridge.com query it returns 'rc=3'
(NXDOMAIN), but in response to tisbury.credtech.com it returns 'rc=0'
(NOERROR).  Try using "set verbose" in the nslookup to see precisely what's
being returned by all the queries.
