Yeah, I was getting this for a while:

larsi@elva:~/src/emacs/trunk$ host ciao.gmane.io
ciao.gmane.io has address 116.202.254.214
Host ciao.gmane.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Host ciao.gmane.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I think it must have been a server issue at Cloudflare?  (Who does the
DNS.)  The last to NXDOMAIN entries are for the AAAA and MX lookups --
the host doesn't have this, but instead of answering with "no address"
the server answered with an error instead.

This apparently fixed itself just now?  It now responds properly:

larsi@elva:~/src/emacs/trunk$ host -t aaaa ciao.gmane.io
ciao.gmane.io has no AAAA record
