hazarding a guess: adns.net looks wonky :(

a.gtld-servers.net says: ( for and NS set query)
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.adns.net. 172800 IN A 199.5.157.2
ns2.adns.net. 172800 IN A 199.5.157.3
czones1.american-webmasters.net. 172800 IN A 199.5.157.129
czones2.american-webmasters.net. 172800 IN A 199.5.156.253
kovu.adns.net. 172800 IN A 199.5.157.52
nebula.adns.net. 172800 IN A 3.134.129.157

and the first in that list that replies fo dns requests: 3.134.129.157

QUASAR.ADNS.NET. 3600 IN AAAA 2602:f813::1:c6b4:8c02

NONE of the 199.5/16 ips reply at all for dns.. that seems bad :( or
at least 'sub optimal'.
In that second answer the only not-aws IPv4 address that replies is:
198.180.140.2
