Bind problems of a beginner

[Kevin Darcy]

Well, ns2.condon.com is in the condon.com delegations but you're not
advertising it in your domain's NS records and it doesn't appear to be
responding. Perhaps queries are timing out as nameservers try the dead
nameserver, followed by ns1.condon.com, which is perhaps getting overloaded at
times because it's doing twice as much DNS traffic as it should be (?)
