Strange DNSsec failure [was incorrectly sent Thursday night]

I'm wondering if it's been fixed ... I flushed the DNS cache on the problem servers again later this morning and now it's staying good, even after TTL.  We'll see if it stays that way.

Thanks,

Frank

Works fine for me?     - unless its been fixed in  the meantime. This is 
stock standard bind. Nothing funny at all on both the query machine and 
the DNSSEC aware resolver. Both run the same version of BIND.

$ dig  mx1.comcast.net

You can see from the query time this was a fresh lookup and not cached.
