You can use "dig @23.111.169.69 deacon.xyonet.com type257" if you have a dig 
too old to know about CAA.

But not having dnssec working is _the_ problem. Your domain is down as far as 
people using dnssec are concerned. CAA assumes you're using dnssec, so 
letsencrypts checker and the online tools are going to be seeing servfails as 
they'll be using dnssec-aware resolvers.

You might find http://dnsviz.net/d/deacon.xyonet.com/analyze/ useful to fix the 
dnssec problems, then https://unboundtest.com to see what your DNS looks like 
from a letsencrypt-ish resolver.

Cheers,
