Querying from here (inside 69.59.128.0/18), I see sen-dmzp.senate.gov (156.33.195.40) and sen-dmzs.senate.gov (156.33.195.41) returning authoritatively for senate.gov:
----------
jonathan@sfo:~$ dig @156.33.195.40 senate.gov. in a
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @156.33.195.40 senate.gov. in a

;senate.gov. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
senate.gov. 10800 IN A 156.33.195.33

What if you query the nameservers directly by IP instead of by name?
Cheers,
