For the Cloudflare folks hanging around:

Please, please, please add some basic "features" (like Google does) that will help when troubleshooting resolution!

For example, the following will show the unicast IP address of the server you're hitting when using 8.8.8.8:

  $ dig @8.8.8.8 txt o-o.myaddr.l.google.com. +short
Additionally, with one other DNS query, we can get a list of what netblocks are being used (for Google Public DNS) in what datacenters/locations:

  $ dig @8.8.8.8 txt locations.publicdns.goog. +short
(This same info, along with a small shell script to format it nicely, is available on their web site [0] as well.)
