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.
解決方法
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.
説明
Bad OPT Version or TSIG Signature Failure. Either the EDNS version in the OPT record is not supported, or the TSIG signature on the message failed verification.

解決方法
For BADVERS, downgrade the EDNS version (most servers support version 0 only). For BADSIG, regenerate and re-synchronize the TSIG shared secret on both endpoints.
