You're overlooking the fact that ns2.everydns.net refuses to respond to 
queries about thought.org, though it is happy to respond to queries 
about everydns.net.  When half the servers for your zone refuse to 
answer, things work less than 100%.  On the other hand, I don't think 
things are completely broken.  Actually they're less broken than Gary's 
DNS frequently is; it gets discussed on a regular basis for a reason.

So is the last octet of ns1.thought.org's address 209 or 210?  ;-)
