Yeah, I think you might be right there. :(

I've done a little more investigating too, and it seems that out of the 15
isp's I tried to resolve the hosts from, they used only 4 unique name
servers...! Typical. So not only are they caching DNS for an artificially
long time, but they're all sharing the same naffy name servers too! :(

Thanks for everybody's input.
