This is just a guess, but it appears that the two servers
authoritative for www.united.com are load balancers:

dc1lbs1.uls-prod.com
dc2lbs1.uls-prod.com

And it looks like you are correct:

vbind.com /home/allan#dig @dc1lbs1.uls-prod.com www.united.com SOA

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @dc1lbs1.uls-prod.com www.united.com SOA

But that may be intentional...
