So that means it can't resolve the name when using your default
nameserver, but can when using others.

If some nameservers work, then the problem isn't with ardour.org, but
with the nameservers that *don't* work.  If you've had this problem
for a long time, then you should tell your ISP that the nameservice
they're providing you isn't functioning properly.
