RCODE, FORMERR, and bad auth Errors

[Kevin Darcy]

I can resolve ns2.escapia.com/AAAA fine from both of those nameservers 
so either it was a temporary problem on the remote end, or you have some 
middlebox molesting your DNS packets.

                                                                         
                           - Kevin
