When acting as a recursive resolver, BIND 9 follows the chain of
delegation from the root, contacting name servers identified for each
domain on the way.
In this case, one of those name servers returned a packet that BIND 9
did not like for some reason - a FORMat ERRor. The offending server is
marked as "lame" since it cannot answer queries for the domain in
question.
The message should also include the IP address of the server that it is
going to at the end of the line.

The point is that, sometimes, I can't resolve an address because of this
lame servers, and dig (for example) fails.
Is it possible?
possible, yes. but I would not be sure, since there are many different
reasons for the lookups to fail.
and there are few web services that check proper DNS functionality. I advise
check with more of them, since there's none I would completely trust.
