I would guess your server is configured differently...
Yes, know it's configured differently. On purpose.
I have configured it _not_ to waste time answering
stupid questions from random bots.
If you want to know the address of isc.org, ask a
major name server. My server is for answering
questions about _my_ names. It needs to answer
queries about keithdiane.us and free-comp-shop.com,
for which it is authoritative, which means the major
name servers get their info about those names from _here_.
I would like to configure it to totally ignore such
stupid requests, instead it seems to be answering
with the best data it has in its cache.
That turns out to be the most verbose yet useless
information imaginable---a list of all the root
name servers on the internet!
