Hi Vincent

using a conventional resolver (no rpz, no forwards, no forward zones) from our Miami cloud:

Hi Carlos,

First of all, I'd like to say how sorry I was for those affected, as I was watching the events unfold down south.

I've rebuilt dnstracer for RHEL9 and I don't really understand what's going on here.. Here's the output for ftp.lip6.fr:

# dnstracer -q cname -s M.GTLD-SERVERS.NET  ftp.lip6.fr
Tracing to ftp.lip6.fr[cname] via M.GTLD-SERVERS.NET, maximum of 3 retries M.GTLD-SERVERS.NET (2001:0501:b1f9:0000:0000:0000:0000:0030) Refers backwards

Same output from any of my bind hosts:

# dnstracer -q cname -s 127.0.01  ftp.lip6.fr
Tracing to ftp.lip6.fr[cname] via 127.0.01, maximum of 3 retries
127.0.01 (127.0.0.1) Refers backwards

But interestingly, doing this with www.google.com instead of ftp.lip6.fr -only- works on the bind servers with forwarders configured. On a test bind host without the forwarders, I get this:

# dnstracer -q cname -s 127.0.01  www.google.com
Tracing to www.google.com[cname] via 127.0.01, maximum of 3 retries
127.0.01 (127.0.0.1) Refers backwards

Hi,

For SERVFAIL to happen, ALL authoritative for the affected domains must have been in Datacenters in Spain, Portugal or southern France.

I live in Spain, and as 12:33 CET I lost not only power but basic telephony, cellular telephony and cellular data. Everything. Power generators were only good for keeping power locally at Datacenters or Hospitals, but they were isolated from each other.

The mitigation began at around 2-3pm CET , as they were turning up different power plants one at a time and connecting it to the power network, and it took them more than 12
hours to turn everything up.

So may be that was the reason, if it coincides with your perception ... dnstracer has eventually helped me find lame delegations.

I strongly suspect that this was caused (even if indirectly?) by the MASSIVE and many-hours-long power outages in Europe, mainly in Spain and Portugal. That started on April 28, 2025, at approximately 6:33 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) - and the majority of it lasted almot 24 hours.

Hopefully, you're not seeing any more of these errors now?
