Is SERVFAIL error related to changing of nameservers? [closed]

by

After changing name servers of recently acquired domain, I receive this SERVFAIL error running dig on the domain name. GoDaddy, where I buy domain name, says it’s not their fault because the WHOIS records update. Company where I point domain (Amazon) also take no responsibility.

->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id:

This is my question: Is SERVFAIL error related to changing of name servers? (i.e. could this be a Godaddy cause problem did not change name servers correctly), or is SERVFAIL error only come from company where name servers now point, and it only coincidence that happen at time when change name servers?

Answer

If the workstation where you run the dig command is using google public DNS (8.8.8.8), they recently implemented DNSSEC validation. They return SERVFAIL for domains that fail this validation. Maybe the domain needs DNSSEC?
