[dns-operations] ENT NXDOMAIN problem at .BS nameserver ns36.cdns.net

[ - bs ]

There is a very similar issue with 'production.cloudflare.docker.com'
(https://dnsviz.net/d/production.cloudflare.docker.com/dnssec/):

A query for production.cloudflare.docker.com results in a NOERROR response,
while a query for its ancestor, cloudflare.docker.com, returns a name error
(NXDOMAIN), which indicates that subdomains of cloudflare.docker.com,
including production.cloudflare.docker.com, don't exist.

This broke my ability to use docker for a while — I'd enabled strict qname
minimization as a test, and then needed to update some containers in an
emergency. It took a while to debug the issues…
