I am not sure which DNS server you queried.  The server returned a
result from its cache:

     Non-authoritative answer:
     ...

and it told you what the authoritative servers are:

     Authoritative answers can be found from:
     ...

You added the server

     sec2.utmck.edu

but that information has not yet gotten to the cache on the DNS server
to which you sent your query.  The rold informaition  will remain in
the cache until its TTL expires.  Then the next query for those data
will result in fresh information being retrieved from one of the
authoritative servers into the cache.
