Tom, This doesn't explain the behavior of the other two though.  To test, I
ran dig's from my workplace.  I get the REFUSED as you do to
ns21.kpmedia.org from work and home, but from my workplace, dig's to the
other two work just fine.  a dig from home times out.  See below.  I'm
wondering if they're just not answering queries from known cable internet
user space...
