Somebody fatfingered microsoft.com and the DNS for .com came back and said there is no such animal.

for a definition of lameness and what you can do about it.

Also see:

This is DNS server, ins't it?
this server use 172.25.33.215 and other server as master. but not trust. so those server reject your request.
check DNS config again.
