Domain unresolved - dig SERVFAIL message

Hi,

Name servers appear in three places, and typically they should all be in synch:
~ The name servers that Route 53 assigns to a hosted zone when you create it. These are the "master" name servers and can't be changed. Name servers in the other locations usually match these.
~ The name servers in the NS record in the hosted zone.
~ The name servers that are associated with the domain registration. These are the name servers that control which DNS configuration is in use.

In your case, the first two sets of name servers match. However, the name servers for the domain registration are different. I'd guess that you had another hosted zone named pubarts.agency, you deleted it, and then created another pubarts.agency hosted zone. Route 53 assigned four new name servers to the new hosted zone. You now need to update the domain registration to use the new name servers.

Here's how to fix that:

1. Get the name servers that Route 53 assigned to the hosted zone when you created it. See "Getting the Name Servers for a Public Hosted Zone" in the Route 53 Developer Guide:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html

2. Update the domain registration to use the name servers that you got in step 1. See "Adding or Changing Name Servers and Glue Records for a Domain":
