The error may be related to the partial misconfiguration of
controlpanel.za.net, such that ns2.controlpanel.za.net sometimes
does not exist:

linux:~ $ host -t soa za.net za.net
SOA ns0.plig.net.hostmaster.nic.za.net. 2003112701 14400 1800 604800 14400

linux:~ $ host -t ns controlpanel.za.net ns0.plig.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns0.plig.net
Address: 195.40.6.40#53
Aliases:

controlpanel.za.net name server ns1.controlpanel.za.net.
controlpanel.za.net name server ns2.yourdomainx.com.

linux:~ $ host -t a ns2.controlpanel.za.net ns2.yourdomainx.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns2.yourdomainx.com
Address: 66.98.134.115#53
Aliases:

Host ns2.controlpanel.za.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
