Comcast DNS Assistance?
Hello,

Last night we made some changes to our DNS-SEC environment at Tufts
University and all changes seem to have propagated - but we're having
issues resolving against Comcast's DNS servers.

All DNS-SEC checking seems to be looking good post changes and other
ISPs are resolving fine.

Is there anyone from Comcast who might be able to validate behavior?
I'm assuming it might take up to 1 day for TTL propagation.

Thanks
Dave

RIPE Atlas probes on the Comcast AS do not show problems:

(The one SERVFAIL seems to be on a probe which does not use Comcast resolvers.)
