DNS/DNSSEC error signal

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.

DNSviz.net shows all delegation are correct. No AAAA record is published yet.

My domain is: kamchatka.spb.ru

I ran this command: acmetool --xlog.stderr --xlog.severity=TRACE reconcile

It produced this output:

Right now kamchatka.spb.ru | DNSViz has one error

Thank you @Bruce5051 !
As you can see, nothing prevents the correct DNS resolution (no response from the gTLD nameserver is outside of my scope).

So what's wrong with LE certificate issuance?

I see this with nslookup; it seems like your DNS Name Servers are a bit slow in responding.

$ nslookup kamchatka.spb.ru ns1.net-art.cz.

This run with nslookup -q=any kamchatka.spb.ru ns1.net-art.cz., a bit longer than I typically see.

This is quite strange, while other domains are resolving well. Where did you get this timeout, in which region? I'll start RIPE Atlas test from this location.

Thank you for this. I think ANY requests shouldn't be used for LE. But slow response is okay, as response to ANY should have more time to switch to TCP and proceed with 3-way handshake.

Yes, I see this. Timeouts for A and AAAA records. Can't understand what is wrong here.

Maybe there is something up with the higher domain spb.ru

Maybe Geo-Location blocking?
Edit: possibly even intermittently Geo-Location blocking?

Same issue now:

I can't recognize it. My NSes are not blocking, and domain registries don't seem to block anything.

That's interesting. Now I see every server marked with a green check. Except Auckland NZ. With the fact that NSes aren't multihomed and located in Italy and Czech Republic, and other people from spb.ru domains are complaining about DNS... one might need to check whether LE's addresses are not blocked.

Thank you, I've read this article. Obviously there is no problem on my side, nameservers/webserver are reachable. Lots of online tools are an additional proof of that.

And likely not on the LE side, but most likely something between them.
