	No address records in zone for the nameservers ns1.3ouon.com
	and ns2.3ouon.com.  Whan named asks for the address records
	(A/AAAAA) from the zone it gets back NXDOMAIN which it then
	caches.  Subsequent lookups will then fail.

	From COM servers:

	The zone is delegated to a set of servers that is not

	This is a idiot who is trying to be lazy by only having a

	poison the cache if accepted.
