Network Solutions appears to have an issue with AWS hostnames. This AWS ELB has been out there for months and is resolvable from every major DNS provider but network solutions. Any idea as to why?

WORKING (4.2.2.2 DNS)

$ nslookup testloadbalancer-1761726467.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
Server:     4.2.2.5
Address:    4.2.2.5#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   testloadbalancer-1761726467.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 50.112.251.201

NOT WORKING (Network Solutions DNS)

$ nslookup testloadbalancer-1761726467.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com ns1.worldnic.com
Server:     ns1.worldnic.com
Address:    205.178.190.1#53

** server can't find testloadbalancer-1761726467.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com.localhost: SERVFAIL
