Dig does not show me how/where it queries, it simply provides the answer. I cannot see the output of the +trace command due to my network. I think it is an ultradns issue because they are the only TLD server that doesn't return a SOA record. I am thinking, maybe dangerous, that our client's AD install doesn't handle a query response properly for that reason. One look at my DNS logs tells me AD is rarely configured properly.

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
