I got a report of an NSEC error from someone who tried to connect to a
mistyped hostname. I've done a bit of poking, and it looks like we're
seeing a missing wildcard NSEC for domain names that are two subdomains
down from the apex, but not for subdomains of the apex. Though, I admit I
can't see the problem myself. Querying by hand I see what looks like an
identical response, but resolvers and DNSViz report problems with the
deeper name.
For example, nonexistent.dns-oarc.net and nonexistent.sjc.dns-oarc.net (
sjc.dns-oarc.net is a real subdomain with hosts in it, not an ENT)... kdig
output and DNSViz results below.
We're running knot/unknown,now 3.3.5-cznic.1~bullseye from deb.knot-dns.cz,
and this is the relevant policy statement for the zone:
policy:
- id: ecdsa
algorithm: ecdsap256sha256
ksk-lifetime: 365d
ksk-submission: parent_zone_sbm
zsk-lifetime: 30d
rrsig-lifetime: 14d
rrsig-refresh: 7d
We are mid-KSK-roll, waiting on the DS submission check.
Have I misconfigured something here, or is there a signing bug, or is this
something else?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
Could you please send me the zone file?
Thanks!

Hi Matt!
Thank you for your findings, this is really interesting.
First of all, your claim in parentheses "(sjc.dns-oarc.net
<http://sjc.dns-oarc.net> is a real subdomain with hosts in it, not an
ENT)" seems not to be true. It is proven by NSEC that this name is
indeed an ENT. But this of course does not affect the issue importance.
Secondly, from the responses that you attached, there is (the very
same!) NSEC present, which prooves the non-existence of wildcard
*.sjc.dns-oarc.net. : "shin-cubes.dns-oarc.net
<http://shin-cubes.dns-oarc.net>. 3600 IN NSEC an1.10g.sjc.dns-oarc.net
<http://an1.10g.sjc.dns-oarc.net>. A AAAA RRSIG NSEC"
I analyzed the DNSViz output in detail and it shows that while the name
servers ns1.dns-oarc.net. and ns2.dns-oarc.net, actually do answer
correctly, including the mentioned NSEC, the name servers
udns1.ultradns.net. and udns2.ultradns.net. answer incorrectly, not
including that NSEC.
I tried it by hand and indeed, the problem is solely at ultradns servers:

This remind me of a similar issue that we have fixed in Knot DNS some
years ago, but I con't find it at the moment, it seems that what we have
fixed is wildcard answers in connection with CNAMEs/DNAMEs and stuff,
but not this straightforward situation...
In any case, you should probably tell UltraDNS to use recent versions of
whatever software they use.
Please let us know when you have any additional clues, thanks!

Ugh.. I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that. Yes, clearly
sjc.dns-oarc.net owns no records.

Ah! It looks like I overlooked some of the detail in the hover text on the
graph view. I saw the absence of the necessary NSEC, but missed that it
was limited to only some servers. Thanks for pointing that out.
I tried it by hand and indeed, the problem is solely at ultradns servers:
Looking at the output, there is a (redundant) NSEC proving the

I'm fairly sure they're still using their own in-house server software.
I'll report this to their support and see what happens.

This remind me of a similar issue that we have fixed in Knot DNS some
years ago, but I con't find it at the moment, it seems that what we have
fixed is wildcard answers in connection with CNAMEs/DNAMEs and stuff,
but not this straightforward situation...
In any case, you should probably tell UltraDNS to use recent versions of
whatever software they use.
I'm fairly sure they're still using their own in-house server software. I'll
report this to their support and see what happens.
