I have no idea how to solve your problem as posted, esp. since you don't
include any useful configuration information.  However, I see you're using
2.1.7-RELEASE.  This is *incredibly* old.  You should probably consider
upgrading to a non-ancient version as your first step.  The security holes
alone are a huge problem with a release that old.

See http://www.freebsd.org/ for information on getting upgraded to a newer
version.

This might be an outdated problem for you now, but I thought I'd put my two
cents in on the PR..

Problem 1: tiki.theeddy.com (NS #3 for cybertech-usa.com and cssl-usa.com
according to Network Solutions) isn't responding to nameservice queries at
the moment.

> server tiki.theeddy.com
Default Server:  tiki.theeddy.com
Address:  204.186.117.1

> cybertech-usa.com
Server:  tiki.theeddy.com
Address:  204.186.117.1

*** tiki.theeddy.com can't find cybertech-usa.com: No response from server

Problem 2: tiki.theeddy.com isn't listed by dns.cssl-usa.com as an NS for
cybertech-usa.com. This probably isn't critical, especially given #1.

Problem 3: cybil.theeddy.com can't look up any addresses in cssl-usa.com,
which is probably fairly bad for you. This is likely the source of your
'sometimes' problems, since the world will randomly pick one of the listed
nameservers for cssl-usa.com, only one of which works (see #1).

In summary, this isn't really a FreeBSD problem, and the FreeBSD PR should
be closed. I'd be happy to provide any other assistance I can outside this
forum, though.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Audit trail indicates problem was with user's DNS setup, not a problem 
with FreeBSD.  Audit trail asks that the PR be closed twice.  I'm closing 
it.
