This sounds like something fishy / malicious is going on at one of your
sites.

I would wonder if someone / something is messing with the DNS traffic or
the DNS cache.

For giggles, try setting up an additional zone at the WI site that is
the same as the DNS zone that is causing problems. I.e. spoof the zone
for your own purposes. Set up an MX record and any thing else you need.
See if the problem returns. If it does not, then there is a chance
that something is interfering with / modifying the DNS server's queries
out to the world. Is your ISP doing some less than nice things with
your traffic?

If the problem does return, then it is probably either stale information
in the DNS zone(s) that you are spoofing, or someone is messing with
your DNS server's cache.

Just my two cents worth at 1:15 in the morning. Take it for what it
is(n't) worth.
