Arg; “only four links” as new user, so substituted in secure(dot)ssa(dot)gov for actual name.
The following fails a lot, but does work sometimes.
I would say it fails more often than works.
I haven’t noticed problems with other dns lookups.
I don’t know how to report this to Cloudflare as I am not a customer.
This lookup seems to works every time for 8.8.8.8.
