Bank domain does not resolve

We have a local bank which is at bellco dot org. It doesn’t resolve on 1.1.1.1, but resolves on others. Searching other issues indicated it might be a DNSSEC misconfiguration. However, I check it at verisignlabs dnssec-analyzer and there seem to be no problems.

Any thoughts on why it does not show up in Cloudflared DNS, and what I could tell the company to fix?

Works on my end using 1.1.1.1 DNS :thinking:

DNSSEC is enabled and fine so far.

Interesting. When I do it from the command line, it doesn’t work:

ntech@server:~$ nslookup bellco.org 1.1.1.1
Server:         1.1.1.1
Address:        1.1.1.1#53

** server can't find bellco.org: SERVFAIL

ntech@server:~$ nslookup bellco.org 8.8.8.8
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 23.185.0.3
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 2620:12a:8000::3
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 2620:12a:8001::3

I wonder if the local ISP is maybe blocking something, or if there’s something on the network :thinking:

From my end:

$ nslookup bellco.org 1.1.1.1
Server:         1.1.1.1
Address:        1.1.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 23.185.0.3
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 2620:12a:8000::3
Name:   bellco.org
Address: 2620:12a:8001::3

dig trace is also ok.

Or wait a bit, maybe not so :confused:

Testing online, Cloudflare failed to respond? :thinking:

Yes, I’m getting the same failure with dig on 1.1.1.1, but working on 8.8.8.8:

Thanks for the site, I’m seeing those results that Cloudflare isn’t returning anything for this domain:

Works also fine for me:

dig @1.1.1.1 bellco.org

Have you tried restarting your computer? If it still doesn’t work, would you mind changing your DNS servers to 162.159.36.1 and 162.159.46.1, and try again?

Hope it helps!

Thanks, I tried, and it seems to be complaining about a missing DNSKEY on the domain:

ntech@server:~$ dig @162.159.36.1 bellco.org

; <<>> DiG 9.18.1-1ubuntu1.1-Ubuntu <<>> @162.159.36.1 bellco.org

;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 93

But then not everyone is getting it :confused:

I’ve run a test on a different website, and it showed some warnings and errors complaining, mainly, about DNSSEC.

Hope it helps!

Thanks @fritex and @Lumito ! I’ve taken the information you’ve found and sent it to the bank. Hopefully their web team can address it.
