Rather than 'host', try using 'dig' and see what server answered the 
request (comment at the end of the dig output). Either it is perth1, and 
you will have to investigate further, or it is e.g. a local DNS on 
franco, which forwards to perth1 (and does something weird regarding 
aythoritative answers) and you'll have to investigate that other NS.
