DNS 5 REFUSED vs 10 NOTZONE
Both DNS 5 (REFUSED) and 10 (NOTZONE) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 5 indicates that query refused. The name server refuses to perform the requested operation for policy reasons. Meanwhile, 10 means that name not contained in zone. A name used in the Prerequisite or Update section is not within the zone denoted by the Zone section.
Descripción
Query refused. The name server refuses to perform the requested operation for policy reasons.
Cuándo lo verás
The server rejected your query due to access control — for example, a recursive resolver that only serves its own network, or a zone transfer blocked by ACL.
Cómo solucionarlo
Check the server's allow-query, allow-recursion, or allow-transfer ACLs. If you are not authorized to use this resolver, switch to a public DNS service.
Descripción
Name not contained in zone. A name used in the Prerequisite or Update section is not within the zone denoted by the Zone section.
Cuándo lo verás
Your dynamic update tried to modify a record that falls outside the zone specified in the update message (e.g., updating foo.example.org in the example.com zone).
Cómo solucionarlo
Ensure all names in the update are within the target zone. Check for typos in the zone name or the records being updated.
