Seems to work okay.

prompt# nslookup www.epicsafety.com

Server: green.nook.net      <-------
Address: 208.161.169.11             |
                                    | non auth at nook.net
Non-authoritative answer:   <-------
Name: www.epicsafety.com
Address: 206.169.182.67

prompt# nslookup www.epicsafety.com ns1.baysurf.net

Server:  ns1.baysurf.net     <------- authoritative answer
Address: 206.169.182.68              |
                                     | from this guy!
Name: www.epicsafety.com     <-------
Address: 206.169.182.67

Depends which nameserver you query.  When you query
the ns1.baysurf.net, it gives an authoritative answer.
What is the problem?
