Google resolvers got no response (i.e. timeout) for ipp.gov/dnskey from its authoritative name servers. If there is anyone on this list who manages ipp.gov DNS servers, please take a look. Our resolver IPs can be found at https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq#locations.
I get a response for DNSKEY just fine*. However, the payload of the response is 1279 bytes, and Google's resolvers set the maximum UDP receive payload to 1232, which results in the truncated response. Unfortunately, the ipp.gov servers don't respond over TCP, so the resolvers aren't able to retrieve ipp.gov/DNSKEY.
The problem here is that the ipp.gov servers aren't responding on TCP/53. But of curiosity, why a max payload size of 1232 for the Google resolvers?
I would guess that it is to fit inside tunnels? You will also see smaller than usual MSS (ex: 1416) from some (all?) google tcp services. Dale
