The current SOA for the McAfee ftp site, ftp.nai.com, is
daldc3dns.na.nai.com, which does not resolve to any IP address.
Periodically, the resolution of ftp.nai.com fails w/this dig result:
; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> @name.ufl.edu ftp.nai.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 11191

After flushing the cache, dig returns:

I understand the SOA problem w/the vendor, but the resolver behavior
still confuses me. Why does it fail, but correct itself after flushing
the cache? TIA for any suggestions or information. Thanks.
