Description
No error condition. The query completed successfully and the response contains the requested data.
Quand vous le voyez
This is the normal, successful response to any DNS query — the name was resolved and the answer section contains the requested records.
Comment résoudre
No fix needed. RCODE 0 means the DNS lookup succeeded as expected.
Description
Server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.
Quand vous le voyez
The recursive resolver could not get an authoritative answer — commonly caused by DNSSEC validation failures, unreachable upstream nameservers, or misconfigured zones.
Comment résoudre
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.
