That is an extremely weird response. Are you sure your queries are not
being intercepted by a middlebox? What happens if you use dig +vc ?
Do you get a similar round-trip time when pinging 8.8.8.8 to the one
reported by dig?

Some places like Wayport/attwifi intercept all udp/53 traffic and direct
it to their local server.  You won't notice this with a ping, but you
will see it in the 0 or 1ms reply :)

FWIW, no DNS intercepts happen on the Comcast networkĊ
