This domain name seems OK for me but I notice that a fair number of RIPE Atlas probes in Ireland return a fake NXDOMAIN for this name: % blaeu-resolve --type A --requested 100 --country IE covid19booster.healthservice.ie [ERROR: SERVFAIL] : 1 occurrences [52.214.178.78 52.50.21.250] : 18 occurrences [ERROR: NXDOMAIN] : 5 occurrences Test #34762484 done at 2022-01-08T15:48:27Z So it seems it is blacklisted in some resolvers. > Visiting internic.net's whois server shows no records for > covid19booster.healthservice.ie, Why going to this US site and not to the site of the Irish registry? > Whois Lookup 'covid19booster.healthservice.ie': > " > No registry RDAP server was identified for this domain.
