Try using +norec in dig and you'll get a response.

Interesting, it works locally for me when using +norec (i.e. Recursion Desired = false)... but is there a valid reason for an authoritative to to respond anything if RD is set to true? FYI Pulse always sets RD=true

Interesting. I was using "+trace" earlier (which implies "+norec", IIRC) and still wasn't getting a response from most of them.
