As regards flakey www.oorexx.org DNS:
An OpenBSD compatriot looked at PlanetDomain's name server records
and says the following:
I think they setup a CNAME record for *.oorexx.org pointing to
208.34.240.200 instead of an A record. The planetdomain.com servers
respond to A and ANY queries for www.oorexx.org <http://www.oorexx.org> with
an A record as
expected, but queries for any other hosts (e.g., xyzzy.oorexx.org)
yield the CNAME record as do explicit CNAME queries for
www.oorexx.org <http://www.oorexx.org>.
Probably what's happening is your cache is ending up with a CNAME
record for www.oorexx.org <http://www.oorexx.org>, so future A queries end
up trying to
instead resolve "208.34.240.200" (because CNAME records take
precedence over anything else), which it then doesn't know how to
resolve.
_Ask the oorexx.org team to double check that there's no CNAME records
for *.oorexx.org where they meant to configure an A record._ They
probably either meant "*.oorexx.org CNAME www.oorexx.org
<http://www.oorexx.org>" or
"*.oorexx.org A 208.34.240.200", but "*.oorexx.org CNAME
208.34.240.200" is going to break for any caches that don't internally
handle IP address literals.
