Since they just added another IP to that list the 127.0.0.1 is probably just an admin’s error that is hard to fix because the records are cached world-wide. Such errors happen, about a year ago a whole top-level zone (.sk) was unreachable for several hours even when the cause was fixed immediately.
btw dating.corante.com is unreachable from here about 30% of time in last months
