I think I am having a similar problems with sporadic A record responses. I
have two separate DNS servers (ns1.knowledgeexpress.com a 7600 and
ns2.knowledgeexpress.com a 6100). I had multiple secondary IP's, but removed
them as I have been working on troubleshooting the problem. I used my DNS
Expert to test all the records and have only warnings (not errors) about
duplicate www records. I have www.knowldgeexpress.com pointed to two IP
addresses. The manual show that this was OK to do if you want a round robin.
I am starting to think that is the problem, i.e.-it isn't resolving fast
enough. On the other hand, it seems to be sporadic, like the report below.
I am also out of ideas...
