I couldn’t connect to webex this morning. Looked into it and dig is giving a SERVFAIL status on both DNS servers. I can dig on other DNS and such and it works. Both Cloudflare DNS are otherwise seeming to work just fine. It’s just webex I can’t query that I’ve noticed.
Here’s some dig info (sorry for not including it at first):

Nothing on this? Webex still can’t be queried from 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1. I’ve tried from multiple ISPs.
I’d really like to stop using Google for DNS.
Same issue here only affecting the Webex domain and I’m hitting the BOS resolvers. I’ve tried on 1.1.1.1 and .2 with the same servfail. Google resolvers work fine for me.

Public IP can be shared privately with Cloudflare staff if helpful.
Hm. No problems here:

DigWebInterface also doesn’t show any issues with webex.com. At least not at the time of writing this!
As of today, this issues seems to have resolved for BOS at least.

Unfortunately another user with the same issue since yesterday 2022-09-26…
$ nslookup webex.com 1.1.1.1
Server: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
** server can't find webex.com: SERVFAIL
I’m located in Germany and my homeserver seems to be in Munich:
$ dig +short CHAOS TXT id.server @1.1.1.1
"MUC"
Obviously there is no general problem that has Cloudflare DNS with webex.com, tested it also with Dig web interface.
So is there anything I can do except waiting? Unfortunately WebEx is the central communication platform in our company and with this issue I’m locked out in my homeoffice if I’d stay with 1.1.1.1.
Is someone from Cloudflare staff reading along?
Thanks and have a nice day!
Maybe this helps, too:

In THIS post the staff member @anb explained the reason behind “No Reachable Authority” and contacted the responsible operator. It would be great if someone from Cloudflare Team could pick up the ball! 
We’ve applied a workaround here and reached out to the operator to remedy the actual issue. Thanks for reporting.
Works like a charm! 
Thank you for immediately solving this issue!
