My SMTP sever (postfix) fails blocking spam when checking with spamhaus:

Dec 14 15:07:24 srv postfix/smtpd[26981]: warning:
177.210.252.131.xbl.spamhaus.org: RBL lookup error: Host or domain
name not found. Name service error for
name=177.210.252.131.xbl.spamhaus.org type=A: Host not found, try
again

and:

host xbl.spamhaus.org

just returns with no data or error message.

FWIW, 'host -t ns spamhaus.org' returns a list of 19 nameservers. Did
yesterday, anyway; today 4.

and:

host xbl.spamhaus.org ns3.spamhaus.org

returns:

Using domain server:
Name: ns3.spamhaus.org
Address: 2001:610:510:188:192:16:188:181#53
Aliases:

I asked about this yesterday on the SDLU list and got quite a few
suggestions, a couple of which said they were having intermittent
problems with spamhaus DNS too. But my fails are solid as a rock, and
none of the others solved my problem.

Any ideas?
