<p>Indeed. The OP emphasised that this is literally the invalid IP address they put in. If the first three octets are correct then the prefix belongs to a Czech internet exchange.</p>
<p>I think the point was, how is PowerDNS expected to handle malformed IP addresses? But without knowing the actual domain, we can't tell why they started to get NXDOMAIN as the OP claimed, and not (for example) SERVFAIL or NOERROR.</p>
<p>I guess if they've already changed it and the problem has gone away, there's nothing to be learned now.</p>

<p>yes, the invalid IP was on purpose, to disable the access to the domain's website.<br />The point is, should pdns return SERVFAIL for ALL records because i inserted an invalid IP ADDRR in the domain's A record ?<br />Shouldn't pdns just return the IP as it was inserted?</p>
