And the NS records appear to have gained an IPv6
address in the process:

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns.nih.gov.             6737    IN      A 128.231.128.251
ns2.nih.gov.            7145    IN      A 128.231.64.1
ns3.nih.gov.            7149    IN      A 165.112.4.230
ns.nih.gov.             6737    IN      AAAA 2607:f220:404:101::80e7:80fb
ns2.nih.gov.            7145    IN      AAAA 2607:f220:418:4101::80e7:401
ns3.nih.gov.            7149    IN      AAAA 2607:f220:402:1801::a570:4e6

Would be nice to get a post mortem of what happened
there, but I'm not holding my breath.
