Yup.  That would explain things.  The GTLD servers seem to have the
updated delegation:

    % dig @K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. eyesbeyond.com IN SOA
   =20
    ; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. eyesbeyond.com IN SOA=20
    ; (1 server found)

But ns.iagu.net has an out of date zone file with NS records pointing
at ns1.dotat.com:

    % dig @ns.iagu.net eyesbeyond.com IN SOA                    =20

The same zone data appears at ns.xmission.com.  Even so, there's
something not right with my system, as it should be able to get the
data out of ns.iagu.net -- that I don't understand but I guess it has
something to do with the presence of IPv6 addresses for the server.
Guess it would work if I took up my ISP's standing offer of an IPv6
address block allocation and set up the networking appropriately.

	Cheers,
