What happened?
While trying to access certain podcast feeds or download certain podcast episodes, I ran into this error:
Full Error Message...
Through some troubleshooting, I realized that this occurs specifically in cases where the ABS server partially fails to resolve a hostname. - i.e. it may resolve a
Arecord (IPv4), but resolvingAAAArecords (IPv6) leads to aSERVFAIL.Going with the example above, I tried to manually check the hostname and came across the aforementioned
SERVFAILerror, while simultaneously still successfully receiving at least a IPv4 address. I was able to reproduce the following behavior on my local machine, my home lab server, as well as two different remote cloud servers in different countries (and entirely separate networks):I ran into the same issue with the hostnam
cdn.lagedernation.org.What did you expect to happen?
Axios (and Node's underlying name resolution) should not fail a web request entirely, when it receives at least a partial domain name resolution. It should do so consistently, regardless of the runtime environment.
Steps to reproduce the issue

Additional Notes
Running in K3S (Kubernetes).
I suspect that the issue may be specific to certain runtime environments, as Node's underlying name resolution may depend on kernel level implementations. - For example, I was able to reproduce the exact ABS error on my homelab server only. I could not reproduce this behavior on my dev machine. - Even though
nslookupreturns the same partial result (A record OK, AAAA record SERVFAIL) on both my developer machine, as well as inside the ABS container on my homelab.@Vito0912 commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):
To our knowledge this is an issue with how Lagedernation handles their DNS. Please search before opening an issue. There are already plenty for this, just searching the domain.
See here: https://talk.lagedernation.org/t/lage-cdn-dns-issues/27017/3 . As you can see. Fixing the cause is probably better than implementing something just used for a minority of podcasts (afaik it's only lagedernation)

@PassionateBytes commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):
Hi @Vito0912!
Indeed, this is an issue with that podcast's DNS server. However, ABS should still be able to work with this podcast feed no matter what, because the DNS resolution partially succeeds - which is all that's required.
We do get a IPv4 address, but the DNS server rejects any requests for IPv6 - Doesn't mean we can't still run with the IPv4 address.
All that is to say, I filed this issue here specifically as reference for my PR which I have submitted here: #4885
My PR solves this issue, by gracefully allowing partial DNS resolution failures. It is implemented behind a user-configurable environment variable
EXP_DNS_RESOLUTION, allowing users to turn on this experimental feature when needed.This would finally solve the problem for all "Lage der Nation" fans, and those of other podcasts with similar issues.
@Vito0912 commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):
Sorry, I linked the wrong issue:
https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3346
Especially: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3346#issuecomment-2423771489
This is neither node, nor axios, nor abs. But that's another topic, I just wanted to state, that this is, yet again, another duplicate issue
