This is good advice - it's always a good idea to have several nameservers 
listed in your TCP/IP config.  However, I don't think it would help with this 
particular problem - if the first nameserver in your list returns stale info 
from its cache, then the query was successful (though wrong), and next one in 
the list won't be tried, even if your web browser fails to establish a 
connection to the address supplied by the first nameserver.
