Well, close but, not quite the same:

[artch at minerva artch]$ dig +short anlgh.org. ns
t1dns1.anl.gov.
t1dns2.anl.gov.
ns2.es.net.
nsx.lbl.gov.
dns1.anl.gov.
dns2.anl.gov.
oxygen.aps.anl.gov.
[artch at minerva artch]$ dig +short anl.gov. ns
T1DNS1.anl.gov.
T1DNS2.anl.gov.
NS2.ES.NET.
NSX.LBL.gov.
