trying now:

$ dig -t any www.merit.edu @dns.ucar.edu.

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 50974

$ dig -t any www.merit.edu

$ dig -t any www.rpi.edu @dns.ucar.edu.

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24134
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 0
