Yes, the issue resolved by 11:20 pm, but the 10+ DNS servers I tried before
then were timing out.  See this output from last night:

Hi Frank,

The COM servers return a referral for DNSSEC-OR-NOT.COM to the following 
nameservers:

   ns0.dnssec-or-not.org (72.13.58.76, no IPv6)
   ns1.dnssec-or-not.org (72.13.58.80, no IPv6)

Those nameservers seem to respond as expected for QTYPE={SOA, A, 
DNSKEY}, QNAME=DNSSEC-OR-NOT.COM and maybe also AAAA (I get an empty 
answer section with NOERROR, but the lack of v6 there matches the lack 
of v6 in the NS set, so maybe that's expected).

Perhaps interestingly, I get an empty answer/NOERROR response to queries 
with QTYPE=NS. I have no way of knowing whether that's normal. The 
nameservers themselves (via VERSION.BIND/CH/TXT) suggest they're of the 
hand-rolled variety and also written in perl, so a certain degree of 
madness is surely to be expected.

Using a validating resolver, I get the expected redirect from 
http://dnssec-or-not.com/

[scallop:~]% curl http://dnssec-or-not.com/
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a 
href="http://test.dnssec-or-not.com/">here</a>.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at dnssec-or-not.com Port 
80</address>
</body></html>
[scallop:~]%

and when viewed in a browser, test.dnssec-or-not.com (as redirected) I 
get confirmation that I'm validating using DNS and SEC, very nice.

Maybe those nameservers were just feeling a bit unwell last night, but 
have since succumbed to a revitalising slumber and have emerged, 
blinking, into the cold pre-dawn with a renewed sense of vigour.
