unable to resolve hosts at adaptec.com with our nameserver

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

	According to whois, ADAPTEC.com, the nameservers for this
	zone are AUTH61.NS.UU.NET and AUTH00.NS.UU.NET.  Note the
	entry was updated on July 3.  Niether of these servers
	are configured as a server for ADAPTEC.com hence the lame
	messages.

	ns1.home.com can still find the zone data as it still has
	the old NS records cached (AUTH60.NS.UU.NET and
	AUTH02.NS.UU.NET).

	Looks like some sort of SNAFU.
