I continue to get NXDOMAIN for www.p3net.net from both of
dns1.namesecure.com [205.178.190.56] & dns2.namesecure.com [206.188.198.56].

199.101.28.20 seems to be search.dnsassist.verizon.net. Are you
sure that the nameservers you are using aren't doing "friendly"
rewriting of NXDOMAIN responses for you?
