#pi-hole #pihole

I have a pihole running on 192.168.1.88 which works as expected.

~$ dig +short un.org. @192.168.1.88
157.150.185.49
157.150.185.92
~$ dig +short doubleclick.net. @192.168.1.88
0.0.0.0
~$

The pihole has a forwarder:

root@r4:~# grep ^server /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
server=192.168.1.41
root@r4:~#

192.68.1.41 is authoritative for the TLD sokoll and works fine:

~$ dig -t soa +short sokoll. @192.168.1.41
raspberrypi.sokoll. hostmaster.sokoll.com. 2021102662 7200 3600 2592000 86400
~$

But if I ask my pihole, all I get is a SRVFAIL:
```
~$ dig -t soa sokoll. @192.168.1.88

; <<>> DiG 9.18.9 <<>> -t soa sokoll. @192.168.1.88
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 2779
[…]
~$
``
So the question comes up: Why pihole works with the TLDorg, but not with the TLDsokoll`?
