nbc.com is not hosted on those nameservers:
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns1.ultradns.net.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns2.ultradns.net.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns3.ultradns.org.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns4.ultradns.org.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns5.ultradns.info.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS pdns6.ultradns.co.uk.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.netbcp.com.
nbc.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.netbcp.net.
Neither is linkedin.com.
I hope you're not trying to use authoritative nameservers as
"forwarders" in the strict BIND sense. If you have full Internet
connectivity, there's really no reason to be forwarding at all.
Configure your root hints and be happy.

Those are fairly normal.
