DNS resolution question

This issue surfaced when I noticed this entry in my servers daily security mail:
Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:
pkg: http://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/vuln.xml.bz2: No address record
pkg: cannot fetch vulnxml file
I discovered that the server is not able to resolve vuxml.freebsd.org, or even www.freebsd.org. I'm sure the problem isn't specific to the freebsd.org zone, but that's where I focused my effort. I found that recursive queries failed, however if I directly queried a name server authoritative for freebsd.org (i.e. ns1.isc-sns.net.), the query successfully returned the CNAME.
