Well, this is what I get:

% nslookup
Default Server:  jolt.eng.umd.edu
Address:  128.8.133.227

> set type=mx
> house.gov
Server:  jolt.eng.umd.edu
Address:  128.8.133.227

house.gov       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay1.UU.NET
house.gov       preference = 200, mail exchanger = relay2.UU.NET
relay1.UU.NET   inet address = 137.39.1.5
relay1.UU.NET   inet address = 192.48.96.5
relay2.UU.NET   inet address = 137.39.1.7
relay2.UU.NET   inet address = 192.48.96.7

That is, there isn't a machine called house.gov, but there is a
machine handling email for it.
