First try on ns1.worldlink.net times out yet still gives an answer.
First try on alpha.buf.adelphia.net times out completely with no answer.
Second tries on both return fast answers (prob local cache)

ns1.worldlink.net is a PDNS server and pdns recursor for my local net.
alpha.buf.adelphia.net is my home ISP's dns server running BIND or windows
DNS service I believe.

I had this exact problem with my domains a while back.  It drove me nuts!  I
always assumed it was a problem with my registrar or something of that
nature.  But I used a few different registrars. And to my surprise one day
it was fixed and my DNS was blazing fast as it should be.  Nothing on my end
changed.

So if anyone has any ideas I too am curious as to what the problem here is.

www.Paysafenet.com resolves fine from here:
Server:  sila.jackpot.uk.net
Address:  192.168.0.6

Dead or busy DNS server? Slow propagation?

"Request to UnKnown timed out" - what DNS resolver were you using? My
local resolver (at 192.168.0.6) points to my network's DNS recursor,
which in turn points to my ISPs recursor.

I did this trace all the way doen from the root servers, and eventually
got to here:

> ls -t ANY paysafenet.com
[ns1.peoplesquest.net]
  paysafenet.com.                SOA    ns1.peoplesquest.net
hostmaster.peoplesquest.com. (2005070501 10800 3600 604800 3
600)
  www                            A      205.177.73.245
  paysafenet.com.                A      205.177.73.245
  paysafenet.com.                NS     ns1.peoplesquest.net
  support                        A      205.177.73.245
  mail                           A      205.177.73.245
  paysafenet.com.                MX     10   mail.paysafenet.com
  paysafenet.com.                NS     ns2.peoplesquest.net
  paysafenet.com.                SOA    ns1.peoplesquest.net
hostmaster.peoplesquest.com. (2005070501 10800 3600 604800 3
600)

So it all seems fine to me.
