DNS issues with tools.ietf.org

Hi,

Something seems wrong with the DNS of 'tools.ietf.org'.

Can anyone conform?

Can you be more specific? It works for me except that one name server
does not actually exist (but it does not prevent the domain from
working).

% zonecheck tools.ietf.org
ERROR: Unable to find nameserver IP address(es) for grenache.levkowetz.com

(NXDOMAIN, indeed)

And what about this:

dig tools.ietf.org @merlot.levkowetz.com.

Yes:

Finding name servers for tools.ietf.org in parent zone

Checking serials for tools.ietf.org in:
cabernet.levkowetz.com
Query Error: SERVFAIL on merlot.levkowetz.com
shiraz.levkowetz.com

Checking zone NS set against parent
Query Error: SERVFAIL on merlot.levkowetz.com

Error: parent has:
cabernet.levkowetz.com merlot.levkowetz.com
shiraz.levkowetz.com

But tools.ietf.org zone has:
cabernet.levkowetz.com gamay.levkowetz.com
grenache.levkowetz.com merlot.levkowetz.com
shiraz.levkowetz.com zinfandel.levkowetz.com

Also, as others pointed out, there does not seem to be an address for
grenache.

It's generally a good idea when asking this sort of question -- especially
here on NANOG, which is *not* Junior Varsity -- to present what you *expected*
to see, what you *saw*, and why you think that implies breakage outside your
facility.

Let me refer you to:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

and

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

which are the two standard reference works on the meta-topic here at hand.

Cheers,

Actually it didn't resolve at all. Even an 'unbound-host -v -d'
failed.

But... things seem to be working fine again, at least to the extend that I
can reach the website.
