Temporary routing error ?

I can resolve it from sweden ( telia) 

Try http://zonecheck.manet.nu it's located in sweden ( and don't like your
zonr becouse of you beeing restrictive about queries outisde your zone 
( which in itself is a good behaviour. In addition all your nameservers
are located on the same network, so ant routing disturbances WILL
make your zone disappear. Many people does this, MS did it last spring
when they erased themself from Internet ( too bad they fixed it :-)
