Question regarding different responses that I am getting for a lookup.

Hello

Not sure why I am getting different responses when I perform a dig on sso.dol.gov.

Dig is performed from a server which is capable of querying the root servers….what could be the issue.   Both dig commands below are run from the same server which acts as DNS server capable of performing DNS queries on the internet.

The dig +trace +all output is the same when I query my local server as well as when I query the VZ NS.

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated.

Running Bind 9.11.3 on RHEL 6.x is that is of any relevance.

I have a feeling that the external DNS entry presented  for sso.dol.gov is messed up…

Thanks
Sandeep
