One of the most fundamental concepts of DNS:
It doesn't matter what tool you use. If the tool you use says it's broke, it's broke.
DIG, just like NSLOOKUP, and any other tool you may possibly use to check out your DNS
(except on the name server itself) will report the same thing. The only difference is
the format.
If DIG connects to nameserver X and looks up information on domain Y, and there is a
problem with it, NSLOOKUP will also show the problem if it connects to nameserver X
and looks up information on domain Y.
As I mentioned, there are differences in output (DIG in Sam Spade shows the
responsible address in a SOA record converted to an E-mail address format, whereas
NSLOOKUP will show it in the original domain format). But if one says you have a TTL
of 3600 seconds, the other will say the same thing (assuming you're talking to the
same nameserver).
