add www. to the zone and look for a A RR.
then look up the A RR on one of ultra's servers
Rodney's point is that the gTLD servers have bad glue data and its a
PIA to get that data changed.
Some folks also place www.example.com as a NS so that it will be glue and
thus provide faster look up times for all those wonderful metric programs
that say how wonderful you are.
