ADDITIONAL Section Contains Wrong Data

[Merton Campbell Crockett]

Under what conditions would a response to a DNS query return a correct  
answer but have the AUTHORITY and ADDITIONAL sections the names and  
addresses of the gTLD root servers?

I would have expected to see the domain names and addresses of the  
UltraDNS name servers as they are the Registrar for the domain name  
being queried.

The query was part of the data captured on 06 April 2009 when  
investigating a problem with Microsoft's Office Communicator.
