If your connection to your nameserver is shaky, and you don't give the -rn flag, you'll just get a timeout, no data. Anyhow, using the 4 nameservers I see in your supplied list, I just did a nslookup on them, and 3 out of 4 failed. If you had a short term failure of all four when you had your lookup problem you noted above, well, that would do it. Maybe you might want to add a reliable backup namerserver to your list?
