I can't reproduce this from my home machine. I get the A record from
alpha and charlie, and referrals from the others (www.usmc.mil is a
delegated subzone).
I used dig rather than nslookup. Maybe nslookup is doing something
weird when it gets the referrals. nslookup is a very lousy DNS
troubleshooting utility -- if you really want to investigate DNS
problems, learn to use dig.
