The host is www.irs.gov.

A further question.

DIG sets the DO flag even though the second and third entries in the CNAME
chain are not signed. There's basically no indication that there's really
any issue.

DELV indicates the host as "fully validated" then flags the second entry in
the CNAME chain as an "unsigned answer".

Should there be some further checking/indications of the issue?

There's also the issue of CNAME chaining which as I recall was at one time
considered bad form. However, it's used extensively across the internet.
(something like domain apex
CNAMEs...)

Here's the DIG and DELV output (recursive server is running bind 9.20.2 on
a raspberrypi under freeBSD 14.1-p6):
