Ah, different to dig the dns record types _MUST_ be uppercased

The should ignore case or have an error on unknown names. Record types just map to integers.

It's actually doing a lookup for the domain `ns`.

Yeah, it didn't occur to me to not capitalise them, but I've seen many people stumble over this. I'll change it for the next version.
