[dns-operations] Oddness with Cloudfare authoritative servers

[Mark Andrews]

The correct thing to do is to contact the service provider and say that you are getting inconsistent
DNS results.  That when you only get back 172.64.80.1 it doesn’t work.

It just so happens that when we get 172.64.80.1 as the answer it fails.  I would prefer to get the correct answer so students can use the online educational resource the district is paying for.
