For a year from September 2005, under the nose of the Panthéon’s unsuspecting security officials, a group of intrepid "illegal restorers" set up a secret workshop and lounge in a cavity under the building’s famous dome. Under the supervision of group member Jean-Baptiste Viot, a professional clockmaker, they pieced apart and repaired the antique clock that had been left to rust in the building since the 1960s. Only when their clandestine revamp of the elaborate timepiece had been completed did they reveal themselves.

It probably isn’t, it is serving from it’s cache. Doing test digs for google.com isn’t a great test!

allow-recursion

    Specifies which hosts are allowed to make recursive queries through this server. If not specified, the default is to allow recursive queries from all hosts. Note that disallowing recursive queries for a host does not prevent the host from retrieving data that is already in the server’s cache.

Try testing a dig from a non-ACLed host for a query that is not in the cache, eg

dig @test.nameserver.com webscalability.com

and you should get a response like

;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
