[dns-operations] Microsoft DNS DNSSEC issues

 Update:

Some more digging, this appears to be an issue with a border security
appliance that is displeased in some way with the AD bit value in a query,
and some intersection with the response received.  We've opened a ticket
with the vendor, they are researching now.  Still uncertain why this
manifested when it did, as no code or configuration changes occurred within
any of the observed TTL windows for affected domains.  Issues with other
domains resolved automagically when we deactivated this control, and our
recursive servers resumed operating to spec.  Unfortunately I cannot share
additional actionable detail for other operators to analyze.

Thank you again for your time and consideration,
Chad D
