Odd DNS issue just now

[Madison Kelly]

Was wondering if anyone else just had some strange DNS issues?

Querying for several domains, including google.ca and google.com, 
returned answers like this:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
$ dig google.ca @204.101.251.1

; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> google.ca @204.101.251.1
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

Notice the empty A record? I tried against My DNS servers, Interlink's 
DNS servers and against a couple of Bell's DNS servers and got the same 
results.

After about ten minutes it all came back fine. Curious how widespread 
this was, if at all.
