I think the jest of the KB article is that it is caused by your firewall, I know that I am running a Cisco ASA and there are DNS filters by default. I'm going to check those out now.

We've been working to upgrade from 2K3 to 2K8. Most of those that are upgraded are 2K8R2, while a few are just 2K8. I have heard some reports from users that they were unable to access certain websites that they were able to access from home. Today's example is www.insead.edu<http://www.insead.edu/>. When I do an nslookup against any of our 2K8R2 DNS servers, the lookup fails to resolve. If I do that same lookup against any 2K3 or 2K8 DNS server, it is successful. I'm not seeing any common event log errors/warnings among the 2K8R2 DNS servers. My only hunch is root hints.
