When I run the following dig command below I sometimes get different answers,

It doesn't matter if I run dig from a remote host or locally on the problematic 
DNS server.
The two servers in question run on entirely different hardware and operating 
systems. One server runs a compiled version of BIND (on Redhat) whilst the 
other runs an installed package version (SLES11 SP1).

The problem can occur on one DNS server whilst the other remains unaffected, 
and vice-versa. Incorrect replies often come in small groups mixed with correct 
replies, generally over a period of a few seconds before returning to returning 
the correct answer.

Specifiying localhost (127.0.0.1) as the server however results in the problem 
never occuring.

I turned on debug level 5 in BIND and searched the logs for any errors but 
didnt find anything.
I tried tcpdump but that didn't give anything either.

To solve the problem I downgraded BIND to version 9.7.3.

The following are the outputs I'm seeing:

Correct answer.

Why is ANSWER SECTION, AUTHORITY SECTION and ADDITIONAL SECTION different?

Any ideas??

From here, I can not resolve vm-nldap-nl.hb.se with dig 9.7.3 using the +trace option.
