You should have done "rndc dumpdb" and looked in the cache dump.
The delegation of horicapital.com points to {dns1,dns2}.interland.net.
However, the NS records within the horicapital.com point to
{a,b,c}.ns.interland.net. The same is true for the interland.net domain
itself. This can cause problems like the one you saw.
