$ host ALJNS1SA.NAV-LINK.NET
ALJNS1SA.NAV-LINK.NET A 217.26.193.15
Both nameservers do not ping nor do they respond to nslookups.
But the following two nameservers seem to work:
$host aljazeera.net ns1.datapipe.net
aljazeera.net A 217.26.193.10
aljazeera.net A 64.106.198.10
$ host aljazeera.net ns2sa.NAV-LINK.NET
aljazeera.net A 217.26.193.10
aljazeera.net A 64.106.198.10
This last ns is configured quite talkative:
$ host -l aljazeera.net ns2sa.NAV-LINK.NET

According to this, english.aljazeera.net should be at 64.106.198.16,
an IP owned by Horizons Media and Information Services, but a traceroute
gets stuck some hops after the last Sprint-owned IPs.

But that's all a coincidence and due to the heavy load
on their servers, isn't it?
