I have this weird issue where I cannot resolve sce.com no matter what servers I use.

Code:
> sce.com
Server:  dns9.quad9.net
Address:  9.9.9.9

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to dns9.quad9.net timed-out

Code:
> sce.com
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to dns.google timed-out

It's not an issue reaching the servers since they work for any other domain.

Code:
> snbforums.com
Server:  dns9.quad9.net
Address:  9.9.9.9

It's been this way for days. The strangest thing is that when I check the status of sce.com from other Web sites it appears to be up and running with no trouble. When I traceroute to sce.com's IP space it looks fine.

Any ideas what the heck?
 
What's even more strange is that if I try to ping sce.com from the router UI it has no problem resolving.

Code:
PING sce.com (45.60.136.211): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 45.60.136.211: seq=0 ttl=57 time=76.306 ms
64 bytes from 45.60.136.211: seq=1 ttl=57 time=76.223 ms
64 bytes from 45.60.136.211: seq=2 ttl=57 time=76.438 ms
64 bytes from 45.60.136.211: seq=3 ttl=57 time=76.377 ms
64 bytes from 45.60.136.211: seq=4 ttl=57 time=76.433 ms

--- sce.com ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 76.223/76.355/76.438 ms
 
From the router:

Code:
admin@RT-AX86U-AE24:/tmp/home/root# nslookup sce.com
Server:    208.67.220.220
Address 1: 208.67.220.220 dns.opendns.com

Name:      sce.com
Address 1: 45.60.136.211
Address 2: 45.60.77.211

From a LAN client:

Code:
> sce.com
Server:  resolver2.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.220.220

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.

    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to resolver2.opendns.com timed-out
 
Figured it out. It was a layered issue involving DNS filtering.
 
parental controls?

There was a post recently about nxdomain timeouts...

In any case, works fine here... with Cloudflare DNS over TLS...

Code:
dig sce.com
