[swinog] Sporadic DNS resolver error for *.mail.protection.outlook.com
looks like the authoritative nameservers cannot handle EDNS(0) queries (standardized in 1999, rfc2671). While this is not a problem per see, the FORMERR response is not according RFC. For more details see: https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp/17c95198e4#edns Name resolution therefore relies on retries by the resolver until it figured out how to talk to this authoritative nameserver. I guess this could be the source of your problem as such retries are error prone or can lead to timeouts. If you are using BIND you can avoid this retries all together by using: // avoid using EDNS(0) for the following nameservers server 157.55.234.42 { edns false; }; server 157.56.112.42 { edns false; }; server 23.103.145.81 { edns false; }; server 157.56.112.42 { edns false; }; See BIND ARM manual for more information: https://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/cur/9.11/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#server_statement_grammar Note, EDNS workarounds are going to disappear.

I haven't noticed this, but we found out last week that Microsoft apparently has enabled a new cluster of servers for europe in networks 40.92.7[345].*. All of these currently completely lack PTR data, and the corresponding SOA suggests a last modification date of February 5, 2018: 92.40.in-addr.arpa. 3600IN SOA ns1.msft.net. msnhst.microsoft.com. 2018020502 7200 900 2419200 3600 they pop up in logs such as this: [40.92.75.99] claimed to be EUR04-VI1-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com and rejected connections seem to carry only freemail services (hotmail, windowslivemail). We informed SOA and whois contacts last Wednesday, but haven't heard back from them.
