DNS 2 SERVFAIL vs 20 BADNAME
Both DNS 2 (SERVFAIL) and 20 (BADNAME) 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, 20 means that duplicate key name. The key name in a TKEY negotiation is already in use or conflicts with an existing key.
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
Duplicate key name. The key name in a TKEY negotiation is already in use or conflicts with an existing key.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
A TKEY key establishment failed because a key with the same name already exists on the server from a previous session that was not properly cleaned up.
Cara Memperbaiki
Use a unique key name for each TKEY session (e.g., append a timestamp or random suffix). Delete stale keys on the server if they are no longer needed.
