Cloudflare not resolving alightwell.com

As of 4/11 I can no longer resolve alightwell.com using the 1.1.1.1 DNS server. Using 8.8.8.8 the site resolves. The site also resolves when using 9.9.9.9.

Hi! It seems to resolve sometimes and sometimes not. The cause of the problem is that the nameserver for this domain has two nameservers listed:

ns1-be.alight.com.  	172800	IN	A	178.217.21.230
ns1-us.alight.com.  	172800	IN	A	44.207.40.0

If resolver picks ns1-be it will resolve to addresses, the other one resolves to empty response:

; <<>> DiG 9.16.37-Debian <<>> alightwell.com -t A -c IN -p 53 @44.207.40.0 +nord

It seems like it’s maybe configured as recursive/split-forwarder. I’ll try to contact the domain owner to see if they can fix it.
