dig printout doesn't appear to match reality

Yes, dns.mtcnet.net does not resolve because that host name been deprecated,
although the IP address it represented still functions, but only as a
caching-only server limited to our customer base.  The organization that
manages k12.ia.us was informed of the changes over a month ago and almost
all of them were fixed up correctly, but two of them aren't 100%.  The issue
was discovered because I have a cron job that gives me the top 20 hosts that
are generating "cache denied".  This cron job has alerted me to more
inconsistencies than I care to mention. =)

This is unrelated to your original question.  dns.mtcnet.net does not
resolve.
