The DNS information for relic.org is badly screwed up. The root name
servers list:

relic.org.              2D IN NS        ns1.wholesalehosting.net.
relic.org.              2D IN NS        ns2.wholesalehosting.net.
relic.org.              2D IN NS        ns1.globalwebhost.com.
relic.org.              2D IN NS        y2net1.y2net.net.

Of these,

- ns1.wholesalehosting.net seems to answer okay. ns2.wholesalehosting.net
doesn't answer at all.

- ns1.globalwebhost.com gives (authoritatively!) the name servers as:

relic.org.      86400   NS      208.241.171.2.
relic.org.      86400   NS      208.241.171.130.

(notice the name servers are given by IP address, not name! This doesn't
work!), and it gives 208.241.171.80 as the A record for relic.org.

- y2net1.y2net.net is a lame server, and gives 208.241.171.80 as the A
record for relic.org.


If you expect an A query for relic.org to give consistent answers, you
need to get this fixed.
