If a resolver cannot resolve outlook.office365.com why should this be a
client side issue? Or do you mean the resolver is the client for
upstream queries?

I'm talking about completely unrelated client-side issues e.g. the Outlook client just hanging for no readily apparently reason. These were being blamed on "the network". As part of a long series of diagnostics, I put this DNS monitoring in and left it running.

However, as it happens I *have* seen clients fail to resolve the name, despite making a DNS query and being sent a reply by the server; IIRC it was a machine with VirtualBox installed which just "broke". So you can have client-side resolver issues in rare cases ;o)

Our resolvers for the Swiss NRENs log about 10 SERVFAILs for this domain
name each day. This is on BIND 9.9.9-P1 and BIND 9.11.0a3

Interesting. I wonder what the difference is?
