This domain has configuration problems.
First of all, the domain is delegated to three servers:
alloyventures.com. 2D IN NS NS2.BRAINSTORM.NET.
alloyventures.com. 2D IN NS NS1.ALLOYED.com.
alloyventures.com. 2D IN NS NS2.ALLOYED.com.
But only ns2.brainstorm.net is responding to queries.
Second, the NS records in the domain don't match the delegation:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
alloyventures.com. 1H IN NS ns1.alloyventures.com.
Since this nameserver is in the domain being served, a glue record is
needed in the parent domain, but none exists.
Problems like this are likely to result in transient failures. In your
case, it happened to hit 2 of your boxes, but not the third; it depends on
what happens to be in its cache when someone tries to look up the name for
the first time.
