[dns-operations] Any godaddy dns admins?

[Ray Corbin]

It seemingly random. Reporting to godaddy results in just a confused sales rep :/. It works sometimes and then doesn't work others, and if the TTL expires on the DNS servers it goes to the SOA, which is 'at times' saying that it doesn't exist. This isn't something internal, its stopped working from multiple networks.
