Their DNS is a little strange and slow, but it resolves for me,
[521:~] host -t ns cisco.com g.gtld-servers.net
Using domain server:
Name: g.gtld-servers.net
Addresses: 192.42.93.30
cisco.com name server ns1.cisco.com
cisco.com name server ns2.cisco.com
[522:~] host -t ns ftp.cisco.com ns1.cisco.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.cisco.com
Addresses: 128.107.241.185
ftp.cisco.com name server rtp5-dirty-ddir.cisco.com
ftp.cisco.com name server sjce-dirty-ddir.cisco.com
[523:~] dig @rtp5-dirty-ddir.cisco.com ftp.cisco.com

Look at the query time. The other NS for ftp.cisco.com has a similar
time for me. I didn't show it here, but the NS records for ftp.cisco.com
have a 10s TTL too. And look at the name of the servers. Odd. Not exactly
sure what's going on down the street with them.
