Do you know about mxtoolbox.com? It (and other similar sites) does a good job of diagnosing DNS-related problems. I use it now and then to check out my own sites, as it gives a "second opinion".

Reported by internet-dns3.state.ma.us on 2/9/2021 at 10:44:08 PM (UTC -6), just for you. But its "DNS Check" function them reported dns:internet-dns1.state.ma.us No Results Found ... Reported by internet-dns2.state.ma.us on 2/9/2021 at 10:51:04 PM (UTC -6) and later ... Reported by internet-dns3.state.ma.us on 2/9/2021 at 10:54:13 PM (UTC -6) Strange indeed: sounds like they have problems.
