Here's an extract from "dig ws.mobilecdn.verisign.com +trace": : : mobilecdn.verisign.com. 900 IN NS dns2-auth.m-qube.com. mobilecdn.verisign.com. 900 IN NS dns1-auth.m-qube.com. ;; Received 98 bytes from 192.5.6.31#53(a2.nstld.com) in 119 ms ws.mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN A 64.14.95.24 mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN NS dns2-auth.m-qube.com. mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN NS dns3-auth.m-qube.com. mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.savvis.net. mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.savvis.net. mobilecdn.verisign.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.savvis.net. ;; Received 178 bytes from 64.14.95.64#53(dns2-auth.m-qube.com) in 90 ms dns1-auth.m-qube.com does not respond, at least to me, and will also cause delays or failures because it is a CNAME for dns1.m-qube.com.
