That's wrong of course; it is returning two A RRs for mail.wtplaw.com.
however a) they always show 3 (three!) seconds TTL on those records, and
b) these two NS, lp1.wtplaw.com. and lp1.wtplaw.com. , aren't shown as
authoritative, and c) aren't even auth. / don't work for themselves!

smithi on paqi% dig @lp1.wtplaw.com. lp1.wtplaw.com.

; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd

smithi on paqi% dig @lp2.wtplaw.com. lp2.wtplaw.com.
