Is anyone else (who is not using a caching DNS server from their ISP or other publicly available one) having trouble resolving the domain? There is no A record

Is anyone else (who is not using a caching DNS server from their ISP or other publicly available one) having trouble resolving the domain? There is no A record -- in fact there is no domain at all as far as the root servers are concerned: http://www.dollardns.net/cgi-bin/dnscrawler/index.pl?server=a.root-servers.net&name=dan.bodar.com&type=A&class=IN&lr=12&submit=Send+Query#report http://www.dollardns.net/cgi-bin/dnscrawler/index.pl?server=... Snippet from the above link (to keep this comment relevant once things eventually get fixed): Querying a.root-servers.net (198.41.0.4)... delegated Querying e.gtld-servers.net (192.12.94.30)... name not found Unable to find: dan.bodar.com No Answer Records Looks like the domain record was recently updated to clientHold (about an hour after this article was posted): server ~ # whois bodar.com Domain Name: BODAR.COM Registry Domain ID: 4584805_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.joker.com Registrar URL: http://www.joker.com Updated Date: 2021-03-24T07:06:55Z Creation Date: 1999-03-22T05:00:00Z Registry Expiry Date: 2022-03-22T04:00:00Z Registrar: CSL Computer Service Langenbach GmbH d/b/a joker.com Registrar IANA ID: 113 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse@joker.com Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +49.21186767447 Domain Status: clientHold https://icann.org/epp#clientHold Name Server: IVAN.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM Name Server: JEAN.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM DNSSEC: unsigned URL of the ICANN Whois Inaccuracy Complaint Form: https://www.icann.org/wicf/ clientHold apparently means[0]: > This status code tells your domain's registry to not activate your domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion. Often, this status indicates an issue with your domain that needs resolution. If so, you should contact your registrar to resolve the issue. If your domain does not have any issues, but you need it to resolve, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code. It's quite surprising how many people on HN are talking about this article just because of however long the TTL was on the original DNS query and somehow almost everyone so far has got a cache hit.
