Steve,
My understanding is that a Primary is the one on which you make the actual
changes (for your domains) and a secondary gets them. So if the secondary
provides the current and correct response, the Primary should also be using
that same data. For DNS data outside your domain, then each DNS server makes
its own requests to find the authorative source (the primary DNS of that
domain after getting that data from ROOT servers) and then passes that to
the requestor. Sounds to me like your primary is not getting the latest data
from that other domains DNS. I'd clear the cache (should force the next
request for that domain to be looked up completely, again) first. If that
does not work (change the response), then stop/start the DNS service. If
still no/bad data, then reboot. If still fails then some problem with that
computer hardware/software. None of this is specific to MS DNS.
Also possible that the domain in question has bad DNS records and you got
lucky that one 'works' and others do not. Without knowing that domain, I
(and others) cannot check it for you.
