192.5.6.30 is the address of a.gtld-servers.net; I wouldn't really 
expect it to respond usefully for anything outside of .com, .net or .org.

What is it that you're trying to accomplish here with this 
"synchronization"? If you're just trying refresh your root hints file, 
I'm not sure what you're doing querying TLD servers. TLD != root.
