*Do you know what SERVFAIL is?


Suggested page: SERVFAIL Explained: How It Affects Your Internet Experience

SERVFAIL is a DNS error when a resolver can't get a valid response from the Authoritative DNS server for a domain. When you enter a domain, your device sends a DNS query to a resolver. It contacts the Authoritative DNS server, which holds the DNS records for the domain. If the server doesn't respond within the time limit, the resolver returns a SERVFAIL error (Server Failure).

SERVFAIL errors can occur due to several reasons. Some of them include the following:

  • Misconfiguration: Incorrect DNS records or name servers lead to server failures. Syntax errors, missing DNSSEC signatures, or improper delegation contribute to misconfigurations.
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Disruptions between DNS resolver and Authoritative server trigger SERVFAIL errors. Network outages, routing problems, or firewall restrictions can cause these disruptions.
  • DNSSEC Validation Failures: Invalid or missing DNSSEC signatures result in Server Failure errors during validation of received data.
  • Server Overload: Spike in DNS queries or misconfigured server overloads the system, causing server collapse and SERVFAIL responses.
  • Authoritative Server Issues: Technical difficulties or unresponsiveness of the domain's Authoritative server lead to such errors. Maintenance, software bugs, or hardware failures contribute to these issues.
