That's strange. The same server replies on one query but not the other:
ale@pcale:~$ dig +short +norecurse @158.74.30.103 bounce.connect.hhs.gov txt "v=spf1 ip4:158.72.139.19 ip4:158.70.144.146 include:cust-spf.exacttarget.com -all" ale@pcale:~$ ale@pcale:~$ dig +short +norecurse @158.74.30.103 _dmarc.bounce.connect.hhs.gov txt ;; communications error to 158.74.30.103#53: timed out ;; communications error to 158.74.30.103#53: timed out ;; communications error to 158.74.30.103#53: timed out ;; no servers could be reached Note that the server is firewalled and is not reachable by ping or traceroute. I suspect they tried to put a filter on port 53 too, to avoid too many queries, and filter off _dmarc because it is an invalid host. Sounds real?!?
