Probably 31.130.231.0 got the answer from @sns.cooperix.net. (instead of 
@nic.sandelman.ca.)

...

nic.sandelman.ca.
is also authoritatively serving:

0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.f.0.0.0.0.b.0.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa. 86400 IN SOA . 
. 0 28800 7200 604800 86400
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.f.0.0.0.0.b.0.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa. 0 IN NS .
