DNS Madness (why resolving to 0.0.0.0?)

Since the last 2 month I’m trying to fix our DNS resolving bug.

There is a domain and some of its subdomains sometimes resolve fine, sometimes resolve to 0.0.0.0 as unknown type with N flag.


  • I changed the router to a TP-Link one and the problem was gone.


  • While using bitdefender VPN the problem was gone.


  • The main domain always works.


  • Certain subdomains belonging to this domain don’t work most of the time.


  • Even with all firewall and nat rules disabled.

Didn’t anyone experience such irregular DNS resolving problems?
