Google DNS intermittent ServFail for Disney subdomain

I know it doesn't help your problem, but friends don't let friends use public DNS resolvers (Google, L3, Open DNS, etc.). ;-)

Hi Nanog, 

I am principal network engineer for sister-studio to Disney Studios. They 
have been struggling with DNS issues since Thursday 12th October. 

By all accounts it appears as though *some* of the Google DNS resolvers 
cannot reach the authoritative nameservers for "studio.disney.com". 

This is causing ~20-30% of all DNS requests against Google Public DNS 
8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 to fail for requests in this subdomain. 

The name servers reside in 153.7.233.0/24. 

Might someone be able to *connect me* with someone at Google to assist my 
poor colleagues who are banging their heads against a brick wall here. 

Thank you, 
David
