Try

nameserver	208.0.145.2
search		infobahn.icubed.com

I just did `nslookup - 208.0.145.2' to verify that your nameserver is
OK. It's OK. Try that, too. If infobahn goes down for any reason,
you'll have the same problem you described. Many network providers
provide multiple nameservers for that reason--up to two for customers
and two for outsiders.
