It feels to me like they must have a load balancer in front of
ns09.domaincontrol.com.  Sometimes (from some places) you get good
answers and sometimes you get NXDOMAINs.

ie, from one host:

$ while sleep 1; do dig @216.69.185.5 itx.traffiq.com | grep HEADER; done
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 13906
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6317
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 39133
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 12905
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37007
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 14712
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24340


and from another:

$ while sleep 1; do dig @216.69.185.5 itx.traffiq.com | grep HEADER; done
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 19501
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 1837
