For those who don't understand DNS: rest assured it was the cause of the intermittent mail/website problems people have been expeirencing for the last few months
For those who do understand DNS: It would seem that the glue for the authoratitive name servers used for thelandofbob.com were not present in all GLTD servers. This meant that infrequently DNS resolution could not happen resulting in eMails being bounced and/or delayed, along with HTTP traffic failing as the domain seemed not to exist. I've changed the name servers to ones which have all their glue intact and now all works ok.
For everyone: Hoorah!
