Thanks for all your inputs guys. Since 2:15pm the nslookup for the URLs
and also to all the SMTP servers hosted by Healthalliance have started
to work by itself without anybody having to do any changes. I did get
in touch with the Healthalliance techs and they seemed to have done
nothing at all.
Quite mysterious I must say.
Hope it continues to work without any disruptions.

Well it looks like ns1.healthalliance.co.nz is down.
dig www.healthalliance.co.nz @210.54.1.142 works
dig www.healthalliance.co.nz @210.54.1.143 fails.
given the the reverse DNS for 210.54.1.143 and 210.54.1.142 is also
on those servers, you're going to get timeouts galore.
ns1.healthalliance.co.nz. 86400 IN A 210.54.1.143
ns2.healthalliance.co.nz. 86400 IN A 210.54.1.142
jfp.
