DNS 3 NXDOMAIN vs 23 BADCOOKIE
Both DNS 3 (NXDOMAIN) and 23 (BADCOOKIE) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 3 indicates that non-Existent Domain. The queried domain name does not exist in the DNS namespace. Meanwhile, 23 means that bad or missing server cookie. The DNS COOKIE option in the request is absent, malformed, or does not match the server's expected value.
説明
Non-Existent Domain. The queried domain name does not exist in the DNS namespace.
このコードが表示される場合
The domain has no DNS records at all — either it was never registered, has expired, or you have a typo in the hostname.
解決方法
Double-check the domain spelling. If you own the domain, verify your registrar settings and ensure the nameservers are correctly delegated.
説明
Bad or missing server cookie. The DNS COOKIE option in the request is absent, malformed, or does not match the server's expected value.
このコードが表示される場合
Your resolver sent a query without a valid server cookie, or the cookie has expired. This is part of the DNS COOKIE mechanism to prevent spoofed-source attacks.
解決方法
Retry the query — most resolvers automatically learn the correct server cookie from the first response. If the error persists, ensure your resolver supports RFC 7873 DNS Cookies.
