My resolvers, running BIND 9.7.3P3, are having a difficult time resolving the MX record for the zone "epza.gov.tw.".
When I run "dig +trace", this is the response I get: $ dig +trace epza.gov.tw. mx ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3 <<>> +trace epza.gov.tw. mx ;; global options: +cmd . 381415 IN NS c.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS b.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS g.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS m.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS d.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS j.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS h.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS k.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS f.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS i.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS l.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS a.root-servers.net. . 381415 IN NS e.root-servers.net. ;; Received 512 bytes from 203.188.201.230#53(203.188.201.230) in 0 ms tw. 172800 IN NS a.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS b.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS c.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS d.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS e.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS f.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS g.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS h.dns.tw. tw. 172800 IN NS ns.twnic.net. ;; Received 471 bytes from 193.0.14.129#53(k.root-servers.net) in 157 ms gov.tw. 86400 IN NS a.twnic.net.tw. gov.tw. 86400 IN NS b.twnic.net.tw. gov.tw. 86400 IN NS c.twnic.net.tw. ;; Received 191 bytes from 220.229.225.195#53(g.dns.tw) in 5 ms epza.gov.tw. 43200 IN NS dns.epza.gov.tw. ;; Received 63 bytes from 192.83.166.9#53(a.twnic.net.tw) in 1 ms ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached But if I query any of [abc].twnic.net.tw. directly for the IP address of dns.epza.gov.tw, I get an answer.

Any idea why this might be happening?
