Interestingly enough, I wanted to check that myself so: 

nslookup
> set type MX
*** Invalid option: type
> set type=MX
> kcug.org
Server:         192.168.76.254
Address:        192.168.76.254#53

Non-authoritative answer:
kcug.org        mail exchanger = 10 mail.knoxhost.net.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
kcug.org        nameserver = NS2.knoxhost.net.
kcug.org        nameserver = NS2.LANBYTES.net.
kcug.org        nameserver = NS1.knoxhost.net.
NS1.knoxhost.net        internet address = 216.111.22.35
NS2.knoxhost.net        internet address = 216.111.22.36
NS2.LANBYTES.net        internet address = 12.152.97.11

Looks like somebody hijacked it!

However, host returned the same result as you got:

kclug.org.              1640    IN      MX      10 marauder.illiana.net.

After which nslookup returned the proper info.

I do wonder how knoxhost.net got into my cache?
