[lug] DNS resolution oddities

[Nate Duehr]

It's registered incorrectly or something's wrong:

Both ns.jackmoves.com and ns2.webice.net are listed in the GTLD servers as
authoritative, but only ns.jackmoves.com is answering for the domain.

Actually ns2.webice.net is answering authoritatively that the domain has no
NS records/servers... definitely a problem.
