I will.

I’ll add what I have for now, but it’s just anecdotal evidence.

I can try to get more debugging information including packet captures. I imagine it has something
to do with an interaction between CDNs (short TTL A records for DNS servers) and making the
wrong decision to use stale records.

It won’t be much of a hassle at home. As it is affecting mostly the Ubiquiti access points I can arrange
for them to use the misbehaving bind, and the rest of the network to use different servers.
