Inconsistent failure to resolve

[David Ford]

My nameservers have nothing to do with authority.  They simply fail to
resolve it most of the time.  72.34.249.230, 198.106.134.21.

Some DNS testors report things like:

CheckDNS.NET is asking root servers about authoritative NS for domain
  Got DNS list for 'emailimage2.howtoburndvd.net' from ns1.linkyo.com
  Found NS record: ns1.linkyo.com[174.132.250.26], was resolved to IP
address by H.GTLD-SERVERS.net
  Found NS record: ns2.linkyo.com[174.132.249.226], was resolved to IP
address by H.GTLD-SERVERS.net
  Domain has 2 DNS server(s)

CheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive
  Error fetching SOA from ns1.linkyo.com[174.132.250.26], server
returned non-SOA record, type 5
  Error fetching SOA from ns2.linkyo.com[174.132.249.226], server
returned non-SOA record, type 5
  0 server(s) are alive
  No DNS servers alive, tests stopped

I have inconsistent failures to resolve the linkyo nameservers too.

Please top-post and trim when replying to my messages. I most often read mail on a small device.

VERY NOT-IMPORTANT NOT-LEGAL NOTICES:
Recalling a message does in no way delete it from my computer.  Rather, it brings attention to your original email and recalling it causes me to search for a reason to find embarrassment.  Please don't send message recall messages.  It's silly and obnoxious and wastes even more bandwidth and patience.

Regardless of what legal message you append to your email message, I am not obligated or constrained in any way shape or form. If I feel like printing it outand taping it up at the local gym, or mass mailing it to 15,000 people, I will.  I feel especially inclined to do so the longer your "legal" advisory is.  Such notices are unenforceable and do not protect you or your company from things you say, or things others do with the email.

What has been the effect of coercion? To make half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites." --Thomas Jefferson

If you are not the intended recipient, please immediately notify some random person of your age, sex, and location and your undying desire to fornicate with them by email and destroy all copies of the original message if you sent it to an underage person.

Wait, no we won't.  We have this urgent primal need to publicly make fun of you, and then we'll repost your message in blazing full frontal nudity across the internet. The authority of the individual sending this message to legally bind any entity is neither apparent nor implied, and must be independently verified - uh ... duh? Isn't that obvious?  Of course not.
