Matus,

Your previous post definitely seems to indicate a network problem, but 
I'm not sure what it might be.

Meanwhile, I can't seem to find an address record for 
ns2.starionhost.net in the starionhost.net zone. That's likely at least 
part of the reliability problem with the starionline.com zone.

hth,

Doug
