If I try the same dig command from my local workstation (or from any other server I can access) gateway.securenet.com resolves to 205.134.169.163.
I've added gateway.securenet.com to /etc/hosts as a temporary fix, but if the IP changes it will disable online ordering for a client's website. This issue has been going on for a few days now. Any hints appreciated.

Hmm.
74.207.241.5 is the DNS server you're using. Hmm, that's resolver1.fremont.linode.com
I get the same result if I request info from that DNS server.
% nslookup -type=ns securenet.com 74.207.241.5
Server: 74.207.241.5
Address: 74.207.241.5#53
** server can't find securenet.com: SERVFAIL
But I get good responses if I ask he.net's server (64.62.190.9).
Sounds like the linode provided DNS server doesn't like securenet.com
