Yes, dig fails too.  The reason that you are able to resolve now is because we put "forwarders" into our options in named.conf so that we could get it working in the interim.
Try ns2.ionosphere.net .. I've taken the forwardes off of it for now.  This is what I get with dig.

dns2-grv1:/etc/namedb # dig @208.253.183.36 covad.net

  All seems ok from here.  Are you sure "dig" fails from your end, and it is not just nslookup.  It is known to have many issues.
