Well, if you want to be SURE, go ahead and use 216.17.150.1 -- that's one
of the nclug name servers and is definitely happy.  ;-)

We found some weirdness, and I think I've put a stop-gap in place, but we'll
have to wait for Matt T to get home and fix the primary DNS record before
I think it'll really get fixed.

The zone for nclug.org listed "ns.nclug.org" as the only name server, and
it resolved to the web server address.  That machine wasn't authoritive for
nclug.org, so that may have been why it was weirding out.
