DNS 1 FORMERR vs 2 SERVFAIL
Both DNS 1 (FORMERR) and 2 (SERVFAIL) 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, 2 means that server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.
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
Server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.
เมื่อคุณพบเห็น
The recursive resolver could not get an authoritative answer — commonly caused by DNSSEC validation failures, unreachable upstream nameservers, or misconfigured zones.
วิธีแก้ไข
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.
