DNS 1 FORMERR vs 8 NXRRSET
Both DNS 1 (FORMERR) and 8 (NXRRSET) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 1 indicates that format error. The name server was unable to interpret the query due to a malformed DNS message. Meanwhile, 8 means that rR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.

Когда вы это видите
Your DNS client or library sent a query the server could not parse, often caused by a buggy resolver, corrupted packet, or unsupported EDNS options.
