1) NS4 is not in the root zone.  The command you entered brings up the server 
for the opennic.glue zone, which NS4 *does* carry.  I think the command you 
wanted was this:  "dig NS . @ns0.opennic.glue"

2) The recursive option is up to the administrator of each server.  NS4 is a 
peering server, and their group may use that server in different ways than 
OpenNic does.
