Root servers have recursion disabled.  They just provide referrals to the
authoritative servers.

The problem seems to be that hanoi.hacom.net (aka dns2.hacom.net) has an
old version of the 241.45.209.in-addr.arpa zone, and lists additional NS
records pointing to ns3.gabn.net and ns4.gabn.net.  However, those two
servers are not authoritative for this reverse domain.
