Are you saying that if you perform something like "dig @8.8.8.8

Right
And it's taken them since October to resolve it?
And you still pay for this service?
Or is there more going on than is immediately obvious here?
I honestly don't blame Rackspace for this specific problem. It has more
to do with the environment as ordered by our IT department, and getting
them to understand why the environment as-is is a problem, has been the
difficulty. That has finally been done.
I'm guessing it's an ultra smart IDS system which intercepts OUTGOING
floods of UDP traffic and treats them like attacks.
Both Pyzor and DNS require UDP. Not sure about Razor.
One manual lookup might work, but when a msg comes in, there's a little
flood and your friends don't like it .
