I am unable to get DNS lookups for [docs.julialang.org](http://docs.julialang.org). My DNS server says

```julia
16-Aug-2021 16:18:33.166 lame-servers: info: no valid DS resolving docs.julialang.org/DS/IN': 198.144.192.4#53

```

and [DNSSEC Analyzer - docs.julialang.org](https://dnssec-analyzer.verisignlabs.com/docs.julialang.org) suggests the problem is somewhat upstream, with [fastly.net](http://fastly.net)

The verisign site reports no problems with [julialang.org](http://julialang.org) (without the docs). Oddly, it does report some problems with [discourse.julialang.org](http://discourse.julialang.org), but I am able to get an IP for it.

Details about my setup:

- running bind9 locally
- for all external domains, it uses my ISP’s DNS: 198.144.192.4 is one of them.
- dig @198.144.192.4 does get IPs:

```julia
;; ANSWER SECTION:
docs.julialang.org.	1799	IN	CNAME	j2.shared.global.fastly.net.
j2.shared.global.fastly.net. 30	IN	A	151.101.190.49

```

- Debian buster. I’ve done nothing (that I recall?) to mess with its DNSSEC settings.
- I know little about how DNSSEC works
- I can resolve the domain from a school computer running Win 10.

As a work-around I put an entry in /etc/hosts for [docs.julialang.org](http://docs.julialang.org).
