This has been noted many times over the last 3 months on multiple lists but it 
looks like the CDC have made things worse recently.  All the servers for 
cdc.gov now return unsigned answers for akam.cdc.gov.  Previously only 3 of the 
six where returning bad answers, the other 3 where returning referrals.

If you are going to have parent servers for a zone serve the child zone 
(akam.cdc.gov) you need to ensure that they serve the CORRECT content.

I suggest that you find someone that is competent to configure CDC.GOV's DNS 
servers as whomever is currently doing it is out of their depth.
