Some of the authoritative name servers for navy.mil reply NXDOMAIN:

% dig @ns1.csd.disa.mil NS usno.navy.mil.

This has been a problem for months. There was a discussion about the
USNO DNS brokenness on the tz list in July - see thread starting at
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2019-July/028293.html

Clearly, some of the authoritative name servers for navy.mil are also
authoritative for usno.navy.mil (aa flag in the answer). Others are
not and, since there is no proper delegation from navy.mil, they reply
NXDOMAIN.

This is incredibly amateurish.

I have heard from multiple sources that the USNO had to take their
entire web facing internet access down. Restoration time is
unknown (at least to me).
