According DNSViz, and the Cloudflare, Google and Verisign public resolvers the qname below has a TLSA record, but Quad returns an apparently valid denial of existence. It is possible that Quad9 is "the guilty party" here only by accident, and had I asked at another time, some other server would return the unexpected denial of existence.
No idea where the associated RRSIGs and NSEC3 records are coming from. Perhaps there are some nameservers (reached via Quad9) for antagonist.nl that have a zone file in which the empty-non-terminal "_tcp" is missing... $ dig +dnssec +noall +comment +ans +auth -t tlsa _25._tcp.mx1.p01.antagonist.nl @9.9.9.10 ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 10642 ;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 8, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 512 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: antagonist.nl. 180 IN SOA ns1.antagonist.nl. hostmaster.antagonist.nl. 2018052300 180 3600 1209600 86400 cueh7hkbnbrqk65590909p4r0pq6cd45.antagonist.nl. 43200 IN NSEC3 1 0 1 AB D04COHDERT50P43FHSP1N5F7LDVTORH7 A AAAA RRSIG i33uq5toep0fslekf0mqpnv6pb6s002e.antagonist.nl. 43200 IN NSEC3 1 0 1 AB IDTV8EDH9FRO5UU2OC4N3PUM51SRLDGH A RRSIG g7u4gpdfmf579evnnqmc3v816rafktip.antagonist.nl. 43200 IN NSEC3 1 0 1 AB GFL0IAO83UJDAA6IHCTHFGL6T4KNILQO A RRSIG antagonist.nl. 180 IN RRSIG SOA 13 2 180 20191205000000 20191114000000 47684 antagonist.nl.
