It is starting to appear as if this is an issue relating to EDNS, though
I can't see specifically how. It does not appear to even be a size
related issue, but instead possibly something to do with packet
fragmentation. I built a BIND 9.6.2 server on a CentOS VM -- works fine
off our network (connected via Verizon Wireless), but does not work on
campus.

What I don't quite understand is why querying say 8.8.8.8 with a copy of
dig on our network would work. Isn't the same thing ultimately going to
have to pass through the same place in our firewall/network eventually
whether it's a nameserver asking for it or a client?
