Even Stranger Incorrect DNS Query Results

I have a stranger problem.. one that may end up being reported to IBM, but
I figured I give the list a shot.
A user started complaining of not being able to send mail to a particular
domain (bergstedtandmount.com). The problem is that our name servers can
not resolve that name off the responsible name server. After digging for a
full day, this is what I found:
ANY aix machine that I run dig @ns1.ntwo.net any.thing.com times out. I
have tried 6 different aix machines with varying hardware, os version,
software, administrators, etc. All fail. On ANY other os that I try:
windows, openbsd, fedora, gentoo, this lookup is successful. How strange
is that????? I dug a little deeper. When I traceroute to that nameserver,
it never reaches it from our network. My network gurus decided to test
some things with routing and shut off one of our core routers. Traces
would sometimes work. When the trace reached past a certain cox router
(24.249.37.190) the dig was successful. The very next time the trace would
stop at this router and the dig would fail. Again, this is only true on
the aix boxes. What in the world is going on here???? There is a mixture
of problems. Now that both our core routers are back up I never get a
successful trace to that server, but this does not affect any other os.
What does aix do differently????
Please. Anyone. Got any advice?
