That domain seems broken, at least from the "world view":

[paul at bofh ~]$ dnscheck uk.farnell.com.
   0.000: uk.farnell.com. INFO Begin testing zone uk.farnell.com. with version 1.2.1.

If it works internally, perhaps one issue is that one of your servers uses the external instead
of internal view?
