I'm getting SERVFAIL when trying to resolve any record in any domain
whose NSs are pdns01.domaincontrol.com/pdns02.domaincontrol.com/pdns05.domaincontrol.com/pdns06.domaincontrol.com
(GoDaddy premium DNS), only when using Google's 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
resolvers, from multiple locations/networks.

Since Google Public DNS validates, and Go Daddy supports DNSSEC, it
would be useful to test with dig +cd (Checking Disabled) to determine
if it is a DNSSEC problem or not.

You can look at targetly.co as one example (should be just an A
record to 184.168.221.38 but getting SERVFAIL when querying
8.8.8.8).

Works for me

% dig @8.8.8.8 a targetly.co 

; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> @8.8.8.8 a targetly.co
