Just for fun, I took a look at the various DNS configs. Looks like
there are some problems with the zone for crucialdns.com:

Forward query:

michael_at_gaea 06:47:49 ~ $ host stopkillingchildren.com
stopkillingchildren.com has address 67.19.118.162

Reverse:

michael_at_gaea 08:50:55 ~ $ host 67.19.118.162
162.118.19.67.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer server5.crucialdns.com.

Hmm. Big hang here, then failure:

michael_at_gaea 08:51:18 ~ $ host crucialdns.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Yep, lame servers:

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=crucialdns.com

Since stopkillingchildren.com is using:

    Domain servers in listed order:
       NS13.CRUCIALDNS.COM
       NS14.CRUCIALDNS.COM

this could very well be your problem - their own top level domain does
not have a proper zone configuration, which can cause all kinds of DNS
problems down the line, for finding the authoritative nameservers, as
well as anyone using their nameservers. Time to talk to your DNS
provider and have then scrutinize their records ;)
