Also, from querying from the outside (with TCP):

 ~# dig +tcp www.auth-servers.net   @212.119.64.228
; <<>> DiG 9.10.1-P1 <<>> +tcp www.auth-servers.net @212.119.64.228
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Then trying the same query a few seconds later:
dig +tcp www.auth-servers.net   @212.119.64.228

; <<>> DiG 9.10.1-P1 <<>> +tcp www.auth-servers.net @212.119.64.228
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

This really looks like a firewall -- perhaps there is some firewall
software on the box itself?

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
