DNS_ERROR_RCODE_REFUSED
DNS_ERROR_RCODE_REFUSED represents DNS RCODE REFUSED. The server understood the request but declined to perform it because of policy, recursion, zone-transfer, update, or access restrictions. It is not a generic connectivity failure.
What to check
- Determine whether the request was a recursive lookup, dynamic update, zone transfer, or administrative operation.
- Verify that the client is querying a server authorized to serve the zone or provide recursion for that client.
- Review zone-transfer and dynamic-update permissions before relaxing DNS security controls.
