209.46.63.1 is Gofast.

su-2.05b# dig @ns.gofast.net itasca.net

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 17181

Fails!  But then, check this out:
su-2.05b# dig @ns2.gofast.net itasca.net

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 51264
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      itasca.net, type = A, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
itasca.net.             1D IN A         207.195.213.6

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
itasca.net.             1D IN NS        bullwinkle.itasca.net.
itasca.net.             1D IN NS        rocky.itasca.net.

ns.gofast.net fails but ns2.gofast.net works.

Do you connect to Gofast or Agility?

Temporary workaround is to use ns2.gofast.net / 209.46.63.6, but it may be 
nice to inform Agility of the discrepancy.  It's possible that they don't 
intend you to use ns.gofast.net as a resolver (maybe recursion is 
off?)...many ISP's have name servers that serve auth information for their 
domains, and seperate resolvers for customers to use for DNS resolution. 
I can't say what Agility is doing, but if you're their customer, it may be 
worth asking their support.
