Yup.  That would explain things.  The GTLD servers seem to have the
updated delegation:

    % dig @K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. eyesbeyond.com IN SOA
    
    ; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. eyesbeyond.com IN SOA 
    ; (1 server found)
    ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

But ns.iagu.net has an out of date zone file with NS records pointing
at ns1.dotat.com:

    % dig @ns.iagu.net eyesbeyond.com IN SOA

The same zone data appears at ns.xmission.com.  Even so, there's
something not right with my system, as it should be able to get the
data out of ns.iagu.net -- that I don't understand but I guess it has
something to do with the presence of IPv6 addresses for the server.
Guess it would work if I took up my ISP's standing offer of an IPv6
address block allocation and set up the networking appropriately.

	Cheers,
