Jason, thanks, but i dont really understand what you mean. Can you
elaborate more?
That command should have either returned a proper lookup, which looks
like this:
; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> google.com
;; global options: printcmd

Or a timeout/unreachable error, which looks like this:
; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> google.com @1.2.3.4
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Or some sort of server failed error. Instead, it dumped all the root
name servers.
That means that either a) you didn't really type the command the way I
specified / have some sort of weird settings in .digrc / have some sort
of weird alias, or b) the name server you specified is returning bogus
results. In the case of bogus results, it's the name server admin's
problem, not yours (unless you are that admin... =). There is an option
c) which is a stretch that involved hijacked queries or a compromised
system, but like I said, that's a far reach.
