This happens occasionally with anz.com - they have a
ridiculously low TTL, as you can see by the SOA. This can
cause problems as you see above.
$ host -t soa anz.com
anz.com SOA bastion02.anz.com hostmaster.anz.com (
2001082800 ;serial (version)
900 ;refresh period (15 minutes)
900 ;retry interval (15 minutes)
604800 ;expire time (1 week)
60 ;default ttl (1 minute)
)

I'm not sure what the problem would be here, but I'm seeing
the same on our nameservers.
Thanks,
