Yeah, I often wake up confussed.  Sometimes even concussed.  :-)

I can resolve both domains.  More advanced diagnostics with dnswalk(1)
reports no problems for pagan.za.net.  The authoritative servers for
wicca.za.net don't allow me zone transfers, though, so I can't test that
domain any further.

Pesky things, those "route" servers.  Again, I have no problem resolving both
NS and MX records for your domains using za.net's authoritative servers.

Check the stupid things first:  Is your resolver library configured
correctly.  Is the named on the box you tried to resolve from running?  Etc.
:-)

If the problem persists...  I'll probably be as baffled as you.  :-)
