Because the nameserver is not RFC compliant. There are lots of broken nameservers out there. Early versions of BIND had this bug but we removed it over a decade ago. > Second, why ns-tel1.qq.com (which is the authority nameserver for the > zone of www.qq.com) returns nothing for this zone's NS query? Because it is misconfigured. Instead of serving www.qq.com it is configured to server qq.com which can be seen in all the negative answers it returns. Unfortunately lots of load balancers are similarly misconfigured. You see similar issues with AAAA queries which causes lookup failures. ; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> +norec aaaa www.qq.com @ns-tel1.qq.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 14164 ;; flags: qr aa; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.qq.com.
