Thanks.  Didn't have any *NIX boxes laying around to 'dig' any deeper.
When I checked networksolutions' whois for neosystems.us and state.ny.us
, both returned:
" We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again
later."

Figured something was up.  But when I tried nslookup with a server on
yet a 4th ISP just now, it worked ok.   Thanks again. =20

nslookup is not the best tool to troubleshoot dns issues

works for me though -

suresh@frodo 10:02:22 [~]$ dig us NS

;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

and a random .us domain -

suresh@frodo 10:02:25 [~]$ dig help.us
