Has anyone noticed some strangeness in Spark's ns1.xtra.co.nz (122.56.237.1 /ns2.xtra.co.nz (210.55.111.1)

It doesn't seem they are contactable from a lot of places and won't resolve anything outside their network.

Yes in terms of routing those resolver IPs are only reachable from within the Spark BBA network. Has always been this way since 2009.

The queries come out the other end from either Auckland or Christchurch IP ranges are 219.88.187.x and 219.88.188.x or something like that.

I mean more like there are some hosts you cannot look up using them.
Can anyone give me access to a machine/host I can do tests from using spark's NS's?

Thanks
