I've still got some time in my cache....

I see the following:

aol.com.        948     SOA     dns-01.ns.aol.com. hostmaster.aol.net. (
                        1998101400      ; serial
                        1800    ; refresh (30 mins)
                        300     ; retry (5 mins)
                        604800  ; expire (7 days)
                        3600 )  ; minimum (1 hour)

;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
aol.com.        2890    NS      dns-01.ns.aol.com.
aol.com.        2890    NS      DNS-02.ns.aol.com.

;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
dns-01.ns.aol.com.      100595  A       152.163.200.52
DNS-02.ns.aol.com.      100595  A       152.163.200.116

No idea where you got your above number.
