I've used Google's public name servers for many years, but this is the
first time I've noticed the issue. I probably haven't tried to visit the
web site in several months, though, so it may be an old issue. Sadly, I no
longer work for Google, so I can't pull internal strings anymore.

Google's DNS is very picky about config and security issues, so they offer
a lot of information for how to test and verify your domain config here:
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/groups

They recommend as a first check using intodns.com to generate a report. The
report for altusmetrum.org definitely shows some issues:
https://intodns.com/altusmetrum.org

Failing that, there's a public mailing list for Google's DNS, and it seems
to get actionable responses:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/public-dns-discuss

....And having written all of that -- oh, hey, look! It works now! But you
still might want to investigate those errors on intodns.com.

Thanks,
Casey
