DNS 2 SERVFAIL vs 22 BADTRUNC

Both DNS 2 (SERVFAIL) and 22 (BADTRUNC) 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, 22 means that bad truncation. The TSIG record was truncated in a way that makes it impossible to verify the message signature.

Deskripsi

Server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.

Ketika Anda Melihatnya

The recursive resolver could not get an authoritative answer — commonly caused by DNSSEC validation failures, unreachable upstream nameservers, or misconfigured zones.

Cara Memperbaiki

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.

Deskripsi

Bad truncation. The TSIG record was truncated in a way that makes it impossible to verify the message signature.

Ketika Anda Melihatnya

A large DNS response was truncated (TC bit set) but the TSIG MAC was computed over the full message, making the truncated version unverifiable.

Cara Memperbaiki

Retry the query over TCP to avoid truncation. If using UDP, ensure your EDNS buffer size is large enough to receive the full signed response.

Kapan Menggunakan Yang Mana

For 2 (SERVFAIL): 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.
