dig error

You'd prefer maybe "Dear Buttheads"?

I recall the story a few years back where an alpha version of a software
product was code named "Carl Sagan Astronomer".  He got wind of it
somehow and a letter was sent threatening legal action if they kept the
name.  They renamed it "Butthead Astronomer" to comply with the request.

"Dear Sir" (or "Dear Sirs") is considered standard business usage for
correspondence when one isn't sure who will be reading what was sent.
While it is certainly not usual to do it for an email (especially to a
list like this) I see no reason to chide someone for doing it.

Why "sir"? There are certainly ladies here, too.

I believe that, when using, "+trace", the server mentioned as an
argument for @, is used only for bootstrapping (getting the answer to
the query "NS .") After that, dig asks the default resolver for the
addresses of name servers. (You can check with tcpdump.)
 
If I'm right, your best solution would be to set up a resolver which
uses your root and to direct name resolution at it.
