well it is still dead as far as I can see because there is no delegation
to in the root tld servers - try using "dig +trace" to make it chase the
delegation down from the root servers and see if that works for you.
Not sure why it works with your local resolver but I guess the reason
for the comcast thingy is that some of their boxes still have the
records cached from before the event...
