DNS lookup getting Non-existent domain error - dns

I have two mirrored forward DNS server(for simplifying, named f1, f2) which forward some domain request to my authoritative DNS server(also named a1, a2), I added some new domain to my authoritative DNS server, but when I nslookup the new domain from f1 or f2, I got Non-existent domain error like the following. If I nslookup from a1 or a2, it worked.
C:\Users\Liu.D.H>nslookup www.yqsbfiles.ynu.edu.cn
Server: ynu-public-dns-a.ynu.edu.cn
Address: 113.55.13.51
*** ynu-public-dns-a.ynu.edu.cn can't find www.yqsbfiles.ynu.edu.cn: Non-existent domain
C:\Users\Liu.D.H>
I also used dig to get more debug info.

But the strange thing was that if I did rndc flush on one of f1 or f2, then I can request successfully.

I noticed that this two dig output had something different in AUTHORITY SECTION.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to register the Authoritative Domain name server with the domain registrar for your new domain pointing to a1 and a2. After that it will work fine.

What is the authoritative name server and IP address for that requested authoritative name server?

I'm trying to parse a DIG request and I'm not quite sure what all the sections mean. My guess is that 151.101.53.164 is the authoritative name server's IP.

Why is it breaking DNS resolution & let me know the proper way to point my subdomain (w.example.com) to (ns1.w.example.com)
And what it is the proper way to do this?
At the zone of domain.com you need the delegation AND a glue record. Respectively the forlast and last record here:
$ORIGIN example.com.
# NS auth.dns.example
# NS auth.dns.example
# NS auth.dns.example
...
w NS ns1.w
ns1.w A 192.0.2.139
The glue record is "out-of-zone" data, needed to pre-indicate the address of that nameserver - as without that info a resolver can't guess it.
At the zone of w.example.com you need to have
$ORIGIN w.example.com.
# NS ns1
ns1 A 192.0.2.139

Windows clients broken after upgrading to bind 9.12

After upgrading from bind 9.11 to 9.12, Windows (but not Linux) clients on the network started barfing "server not found" error messages for some sites. after a thorough investigation, the problem seems to be that bind 9.12 doesn't send additional data in DNS replies for out of zone cnames and Windows just doesn't do the recursion.

so, it seems like there's more questions to ask:
How do I make bind 9.12 return full replies? (it seems they removed the additional-from-cache and additional-from-auth configuration settings)
How do I make Windows resolver do the recursion?
What is the "correct" way of solving this? is it Windows' fault? or is bind's default setting bad? is there a rfc for this?
This is a bug in 9.12.0 that was fixed now 9.12.1.

How to debug DNS for domain with no IP?

I have the domain icebuddha.com that I am trying to associate with a static Github Page (https://github.com/0xdabbad00/icebuddha). When I ping or dig this address I get no IP see here. I've configured this domain in Route53 as follows:
Name servers match NS record. I don't know what the SOA record is.
Other name server view:
dig records (normal, notice it has no A records):

The solution was to ensure all three mentions of Name Servers and NS records are the same. By using that last image as the authoritive answer, and setting the middle image to those values, this worked.

DNS dig command line tool returns "status: SERVFAIL". should I be worried?

Background: I've setup a site on Squarespace, got a domain on domain.com, used domain.com's DNS manager to create CNAME for squarespace (like they recommend).
I changed the nameservers yesterday to slicehost (a failed experiment) and back to domain.com's tonight. Now when I run a dig, I get the following:

Does the "status: SERVFAIL" indicate anything wrong about my configuration?

So, in the first instance, you need to talk to them to find out why not.
