Check what name severs are hosting the domain and try resolving
directly from them.

atbfinancialonline.com name server dns1.cidc.telus.com.
atbfinancialonline.com name server dns2.cidc.telus.com.

telus, sounds Australian ..seems like dns1.cidc.telus.com is
not responding.

One of my Debian servers has a tool called 'dnstracer', I'd be
surprised if it was available as part of the stock CentOS but
maybe available in a 3rd party repo or some similar tool:

[aphro at portal:~]$ dnstracer www.atbfinancialonline.com
