What do you mean by 'your office DNS' if you're not asking anything in
your office? It looks rather like either someone in your office or your
ISP is intercepting DNS traffic and answering questions directly.
Probably dig without server would result in answers fitting in same
decreasing TTL.
This is bad, but I don't think you can do much to avoid it, except
complaining or creating some VPN tunnel. It's not however too bad,
unless you're either using TSIG and have locally configured keys, or
trying to debug some specific DNS problem. Answers go out and are
returned, that's most of what's expected from DNS.
