I would say that it says BOM at the start of the name, perhaps they are sending you to India?

Are you using a DNS service that uses ECS facing the various CDN/Cloud providers or a different one?

This is my thinking, too, however my recursive DNS servers are all on the same network as the systems trying to reach google, all of which are on IP space that I own and announced exclusively by AS 394102 here in the US.  I've also taken care to maintain as many geoip service entries as could be found/maintained, including maxmind's.  Where they would get the idea that my packets should go to India is beyond me.

not sure where you are starting from (really) .. can you provide a:

for me? My guess is that as Jared noted you got somehow looking like
you are in india to whatever does that magic :)

Google's coming back with bom* addresses; no idea why though.  

;; ANSWER SECTION:

www.google.com.         300     IN      A       172.217.26.228

Hoping someone over there can shed some light on why they are sending my packets on a world trip.  :)

Thanks,
