DNS 1 FORMERR vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 1 (FORMERR) and 18 (BADTIME) 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, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
คำอธิบาย
Format error. The name server was unable to interpret the query due to a malformed DNS message.
เมื่อคุณพบเห็น
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.
วิธีแก้ไข
Check your DNS client or library version for known bugs. Capture the raw query with dig or Wireshark and verify it conforms to the DNS wire format.
คำอธิบาย
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
เมื่อคุณพบเห็น
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
วิธีแก้ไข
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
ความแตกต่างหลัก
