nslookup is really a terrible debugging tool. You should use dig.

At this time, it works:

% dig @216.69.185.5 ANY itx.traffiq.com
...
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
itx.traffiq.com.        86400   IN      A       66.151.100.151

If it fails from time to time, the only solution is to test
periodically and to report to DomainControl/GoDaddy the times of
failure. It may indicate a pattern.
