I'm getting DNSSEC validation failures by BIND 9.10.4-P1 for www.hrsa.gov.

The pertinent log messages are things like:

   lame-servers: info: no valid RRSIG resolving 'webfarm.dr.hrsa.gov/DS/IN': 
165.112.137.222#53
   lame-servers: info: no valid RRSIG resolving 'webfarm.dr.hrsa.gov/DS/IN': 
162.99.248.222#53
   lame-servers: info: no valid DS resolving 'webfarm.dr.hrsa.gov/A/IN': 
162.99.248.222#53
   lame-servers: info: broken trust chain resolving 'webfarm.dr.hrsa.gov/A/IN':

   lame-servers: info: insecurity proof failed resolving 'dr.hrsa.gov/SOA/IN': 
165.112.137.222#53

The dig output is:

   $ dig www.hrsa.gov @dns-spare.uiowa.edu

   ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Debian <<>> www.hrsa.gov @dns-spare.uiowa.edu

It doesn't fail with a similar config on 9.10.3-P4, but there are admittedly config differences.

Other DNSSEC-signed things validate fine at both versions, so things are
mostly OK.

My guess is that BIND 9.10.4-P1 is checking something more stringently than
previous versions did, & that something is broken with the DNS for
www.hrsa.gov, but I can't spot what it is.  There are some very short TTLs (5
seconds) in the data tree in question, including for SOAs, which seems like a
really bad idea but I'm not sure it definitely breaks things.  There are also
some answers with both "AA" & "AD" set, which seems odd, but again, not
definitely broken.

dnsviz.net reports a couple of warnings, including a non-AA answer from
authoritative servers, but it doesn't say it's bogus.

If anybody can spot something broken for www.hrsa.gov, I'd be very glad to
hear about it.
