.mil resolution problems?

[Michael Hare]

Hello-

Our recursive nameservers are having trouble with .MIL today.  I see 
some public servers [8.8.8.8] are not.  I am not running a dns-sec 
enabled recursive resolver.

In the below I was expecting an 'ADDITIONAL' section, not based on the 
DIG header, but based on expecting delegation glue.  A dig for the 
NIPR.MIL NS times out.

Anyone else having problems or can perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks-
-Michael
