It seems like DENIC has a problem again. My domain elektro-menne.de is down. I've been debugging this issue for more than an hour, and it seems like the domain exists in WHOIS and Cloudflare responds correctly when queried directly, but DENIC authoritative nameservers return NXDOMAIN.
For example:
dig @a.nic.de elektro-menne.de A
returns NXDOMAIN directly from DENIC.
Zonemaster also reports:
"elektro-menne.de does not exist as a DNS zone."
I also found multiple other .de domains currently affected by the exact same issue. Looks like the domains are present in WHOIS, but missing from the live .de DNS zone delegation.
