Facing an interesting problem with .mil and wondering if anyone has experienced this or has any ideas. The .mil nameservers appear to be unresponsive to requests from some of our subnets (AS396163) starting in the last day or two. Specifically seems to be these: mil. 172800 IN NS con1.nipr.mil. mil. 172800 IN NS con2.nipr.mil. mil. 172800 IN NS eur1.nipr.mil. mil. 172800 IN NS eur2.nipr.mil. mil. 172800 IN NS pac1.nipr.mil. mil. 172800 IN NS pac2.nipr.mil. 199.252.157.234 / 199.252.162.234 / 199.252.154.234 / 199.252.143.234 / 199.252.180.234 / 199.252.155.234 Subnets that are able to reach / query these servers: 104.234.21.0/24 104.234.31.0/24 Subnets that are not able to query these servers: 166.0.64.0/24 166.0.65.0/24 166.0.66.0/24 166.0.67.0/24 These subnets are announced out of the same carrier mix (Zayo/Cogent/Lumen) but are geographically distributed around the US. I have checked an RPKI validator to see if there was a difference between the working and non-working ones, but all are showing RPKI valid. Path-wise we either take Zayo which hands off to Lumen or we take Lumen directly, but that does not seem to have an affect on the queries returning. I did notice that the working ones have an ISPSS Level3 hop at the end of the chain, whereas the non-working ones have a hop into an edge for lumen.tech but no further responses. Curious if anyone else has found a change or difficulty reaching these hosts or are seeing DNS resolution issues for .mil TLD domains. Also open to troubleshooting ideas for further isolating the cause. Thanks! Alex
