You've changed the record test.gopleader.gov since last I looked at it -- it's 
now going to Akamai. The result shown here shows what's called a "dangling 
CNAME" -- your CNAME record, pointing to an outside resource. A resolving name 
server (one with recursion enabled) will then follow that to Akamai, giving 
this result:

test.gopleader.gov.     300     IN      CNAME   www.house.gov.
www.house.gov.          552     IN      CNAME   house.gov.edgesuite.net.
house.gov.edgesuite.net. 12640  IN      CNAME   a1164.g.akamai.net.
a1164.g.akamai.net.     19      IN      A       165.254.47.115
a1164.g.akamai.net.     19      IN      A       165.254.47.112

Everything is as it should be.
