DNS 2 SERVFAIL vs 8 NXRRSET
Both DNS 2 (SERVFAIL) and 8 (NXRRSET) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 2 indicates that server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query. Meanwhile, 8 means that rR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
Açıklama
Server failure. The name server encountered an internal error while processing the query.
Gördüğünüzde
The recursive resolver could not get an authoritative answer — commonly caused by DNSSEC validation failures, unreachable upstream nameservers, or misconfigured zones.
Nasıl Düzeltilir
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.

RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
Gördüğünüzde
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
Nasıl Düzeltilir
Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence.
