DNS_ERROR_POLICY_INVALID_WEIGHT
DNS_ERROR_POLICY_INVALID_WEIGHT means the weight supplied for one of the policy scopes is not valid. Scope weights are used when a policy distributes answers between eligible scopes.
Review all scope weights participating in the same policy rather than only the rejected value. The distribution settings must form a valid policy definition and should reflect the intended answer split between eligible scopes.
What to verify
- Check the scope-and-weight pairs in the policy for missing, malformed, or unsupported values.
- Confirm that every referenced zone scope exists in the target zone.
- Use an explicit, documented traffic-distribution design instead of treating weight as a DNS record priority.
