Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is: zfx.com
I ran this command: certbot --nginx -d my.uat.zfx.com
It produced this output: Detail: DNS problem: SERVFAIL looking up A for www.uat.zfx.com -
the domain’s nameservers may be malfunctioning
My web server is (include version): nginx version: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: self
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0
I can’t renew or obtain new certs, my dns provider is dns.com and they say that everything is fine.
I tried from different nginx’s from Russia, China, and HK with no luck. I receive SERVFAIL or no IP addresses. Please help!
Hi @mkolobov
your name servers are buggy. Or the name server software is expired - see https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=my.uat.zfx.com

If the query is My.uAt.Zfx.cOm, the answer must be the same, not my.uat.zfx.com. That's a name server requirement using Letsencrypt.
See
Rechecked with Unboundtest - the same problem - https://unboundtest.com/m/A/my.uat.zfx.com/JUONPBE6

Change your name servers. If this isn't possible, it may be impossible to create a Letsencrypt certificate.
PS:
No, there is nothing fine. It's a name server problem. The draft is from 2008, so every name server software must support echo capitalization.
