Can someone explain the following dig results? The first dig @8.8.8.8 provides the expected result
 
 
: dig +noall +answer google-public-dns-a.google.com @8.8.8.8
google-public-dns-a.google.com. 85040 IN A      8.8.8.8

We get the same result from KLOTH.NET (http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php)
 
 
But when we specify the public facing exacttarget.com server
 
: dig +noall +answer google-public-dns-a.google.com @66.231.91.222 
 
No answer
 
And when we use +trace ... it seems to find it's way to the correct answer.
 
: dig google-public-dns-a.google.com @66.231.91.222 +trace
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> google-public-dns-a.google.com @66.231.91.222 +trace
