DNS 2 SERVFAIL vs 11 DSOTYPENI
Both DNS 2 (SERVFAIL) and 11 (DSOTYPENI) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 2 indicates that server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query. Meanwhile, 11 means that dSO-TYPE Not Implemented. The DNS Stateful Operations (DSO) type in the request is not supported by the server.
Descripción
Server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.
Cuándo lo verás
The recursive resolver could not get an authoritative answer — commonly caused by DNSSEC validation failures, unreachable upstream nameservers, or misconfigured zones.
Cómo solucionarlo
Try a different resolver (e.g., 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) to isolate the issue. If you control the zone, check DNSSEC signatures, SOA serial consistency, and nameserver reachability.
Descripción
DSO-TYPE Not Implemented. The DNS Stateful Operations (DSO) type in the request is not supported by the server.
Cuándo lo verás
Your client attempted a DSO operation (like a keepalive or push subscription) that the server does not recognize or has not implemented.
Cómo solucionarlo
Verify that both client and server support the same DSO-TYPE. Upgrade the server software or fall back to traditional DNS queries.
