I get SERVFAIL responses from BIND resolvers while Unbound returns an
answer. I think CNAMEs in your delegation could be the cause:

| IllinoisAcceleratorInstitute.org. 86400	IN NS	dns1.aps.anl.gov.
| IllinoisAcceleratorInstitute.org. 86400	IN NS	dns2.aps.anl.gov.

| dns1.aps.anl.gov.	86400	IN	CNAME	t1dns1.aps.anl.gov.
| dns2.aps.anl.gov.	86400	IN	CNAME	t1dns2.aps.anl.gov.

There was a thread about those, just a few days ago on another list:
