ardour.org
This does not work from here:

No match for "ARDOUR.ORG".

That will tell you the nameservers for the
domain.
(in this case
ns1.deramhost.com, ns2..., ns3...)
You should be able to get the IP addres from them:
host
ardour.org ns1.dreamhost.com
this works:
host
ardour.org ns1.dreamhost.com
ardour.org A 66.33.221.124
So that means it can't resolve the name when using your default
nameserver, but can when using others.
If either of
those steps doesn't work the domain is broken (fsvo
"broken"). This can happen temporarily if the domain gets moved from
one registrar or primary nameserver to another.
'temporarily' yes, but for days and weeks? And it should work after
some time, shouldn't it? Or should I contact people from my DNS or
ardour.org. And then I do not think that my emails reach
ardour.org,
anyway...
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.
