Querying For a Private Zone After Creation Returns an NXDOMAIN Error Message or Public IP Address

Querying a private zone returns an NXDOMAIN error message or a public IP address.

  • If a query is sent before the private zone  is published, the query recurses to the internet. An error message stating that the domain  doesn’t exist or a public name response is returned for the query.
  • Because the NXDOMAIN  or non-private answer might be cached, you might need to wait until the Time To Live (TTL) expires before getting the expected answer.
