The timeout might be due to the cable in APNC-2.

Quoted Channel Asia News "Some Internet users in Singapore and other parts 
of Asia may experience some delay when assessing websites hosted outside of 
Singapore today. This is due to a cable failure in the Asia Pacific Cable 
Network-2 (APCN-2) reported this morning."

At the present, I do not have a 3rd machine which is on a seperate network. 
I had added $ORIGIN anonns.com to the file and restarted named. I will 
layoff for a while. Packing my stuff leaving town for a couple of weeks. 
Will touch down and get hold of a computer with an internet access in 8 hrs 
time and check back. By that time, i hope all the caching DNS renew their 
information.

Thanks alot
