weird sendmail problem on Solaris 9

I have a weird Sendmail problems and I have run out of ideas on how to fix
it. Server is Netra X1 running Sendmail 8.12.9 and bind 9.2.2. DNS works
100% and all e-mail works except for one domain (1tv.tv). Any time I try to
send e-mail to that doaminS my mail gets queued with following error:

Running /var/spool/mqueue/h3A5t8VW020803 (sequence 1 of 1)
1tv.tv: Name server timeout
<test@1tv.tv>... Transient parse error -- message queued for future
delivery

They sit in the queue for 5 days and then get thrown out.
Here is the weird part DNS works 100% and evry thing resolves fine, mine
and recipients address.

nslookup
> set type=any
> 1tv.tv
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
1tv.tv mail exchanger = 10 mxpool.postoffice.net.
Name: 1tv.tv
Address: 64.239.27.18
1tv.tv nameserver = ns2-hosts.nic.tv.
1tv.tv nameserver = ns1-hosts.nic.tv.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
1tv.tv nameserver = ns2-hosts.nic.tv.
1tv.tv nameserver = ns1-hosts.nic.tv.

-----------------------------------------------
nslookup mxpool.postoffice.net
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mxpool.postoffice.net
Address: 165.212.65.113

-----------------------------------------------

telnet mxpool.postoffice.net 25
Trying 165.212.65.113...

-------------------------------------------------

Also if I do Sendmail address test it fails with the same error
/usr/lib/sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> 3 test@1tv.tv
canonify input: test @ 1tv . tv
Canonify2 input: test < @ 1tv . tv >
1tv.tv: Name server timeout
Canonify2 returns: test < @ 1tv . tv >
canonify returns: test < @ 1tv . tv >
== Ruleset 3 (3) status 75

And for the biggest kick of all, if I send e-mail to the same address from
any other of my 5 mail servers it works fine. The only difference from the
machines is that the rest of the servers are Linux and all the mail and dns
software is exactly the same.

Any ideas are welcomed.

Thanks
