New website DNS issues

I get short timeframes when it works just fine.  Most of the time DNS fails to get the address.  Here's the DIG output for both success and failure:

Successful Lookup:

Failed Lookup specifying the Sequoia nameserver:
 dig @ns2.sequoia.net plug.phoenix.az.us

;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks like ns2.sequoia.net isn't responding reliably, and ns3.LuftHans.com doesn't always get queried unless an exhaustive search query is executed (I always got the successful run when using the +trace option).
