Thanks Jared. We operate our own DNS resolvers, which are seeing the same
behavior. I wanted to test against a couple of public servers to,
presumably, rule out a geolocation database problem.

Josh,

All looks good with regards to the data provided at
http://thebrotherswisp.com/index.php/geo-and-vpn with the exception of
https://www.ipligence.com/geolocation which seems to be junk serving junk
data.

So far, Akamai is the only provider we are seeing issues with.

Thanks for the feedback.

I recommend against using 1.1.1.1 as that may direct you to far away locations.
I can help you off-list further.

The IPs you're coming from, look what they say at the various geolocation 
services here:

Also, have you tried a local DNS server and not Google/Cloudflare Anycast ones?

resolved by, Akamai.

Two hostnames I'm looking at include:

business.officedepot.com
www.teacherspayteachers.com

'A' records for both have a TTL of 20 seconds, and randomly resolve to IPs in 
the US, and Europe (we are in the US/Oklahoma).

For example, business.officedepot.com is resolving to both 96.17.32.230 and
88.221.37.87 (at different times). I've verified the same inconsistent
behavior against 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.

This is causing issues for an educational customer of ours. Is anyone aware
of issues within Akamai that may be causing them to source content from
Europe?
