This is because some one at surfvision.com registered a host record for banzai.surfvision.com as 1.1.1.1. It is also possible that this host was registered by someone out side of the domain surfvision.com as Internic wasn't paying that much attention in the past for regestring hosts from proper authority. Once in a while when root servers gets updated, root servers will directly answer queries for host records instead of forwarding to primary server of the domain holder. That is the reason you are seeing root servers answering in this format. The way to get this fixed for sufvision.com is they can send an e-mail to internic with template to modify host info for banzai.surfvision.com or removal template to remove it and it will go away.
