It's pretty broken:

[paul at bofh ~]$ dnscheck thebalconyondock.com
   0.000: thebalconyondock.com INFO Begin testing zone thebalconyondock.com with version 0.93_01.

I am also getting a servfail on bind, so my guess is that you just happened to have it
cached there and if you restart that bind server, it will also fail.
