However, a direct dig to {ns1|ukns1|ns0}.accesskenya.com are all declined
from my IP.
I manage several Unix boxes, so I decided to try the same queries from
'outside' my ISPs network and here is what I got!

So it would appear that my ISP allows queries to  {ns1|ukns1|ns0}.
accesskenya.com from outside their network, but kinds disallow it from the
servers they give to clients to use!
