dnspython does not resolve on osx inside corporate network

Question

I am trying to use dnspython to resolve some names on our corporate network on mac osx. There is the sample code I am using:

import dns.resolver

dns.resolver.default_resolver = dns.resolver.Resolver(configure=False)
dns.resolver.default_resolver.nameservers = ['x.x.x.x']
dns.resolver.resolve('www.google.com')

x.x.x.x is replaced with the corporate dns server. When run, the following error message is generated:

dns.resolver.LifetimeTimeout: The resolution lifetime expired after 5.402 seconds: Server Do53:135.37.9.16@53 answered The DNS operation timed out.

Using dig to make the query, I do get back valid results:

In the dig resopsone, I see the same name servers being used to do the lookup. I have tried to adjust the timeout in python, using 8.8.8.8 as the dns server, and many other options including edns, but all changes result with same timeout exception.
