[BALUG-Admin] linuxmafia.com "retry limit exceeded"

[Rick Moen]

Trying to figure out something in logfiles.  Filtering down this
report just to sf-lug.com, balug.org, and savingthedolph.in DNS stuff,
as "retry limit exceeded" seems to be a recurring theme and I'd like to 
figure out why (and fix).
