Service domains return SERVFAIL for habit_tracker_app

I have a service (habit_tracker_app) in production with deployments marked SUCCESS, but all configured service domains return SERVFAIL on DNS queries:

nslookup habittrackerapp-prod-v2.up.railway.app

** server can't find habittrackerapp-prod-v2.up.railway.app: SERVFAIL

I've tried:

  • habittrackerapp-production-new.up.railway.app → SERVFAIL
  • habittrackerapp-prod-v2.up.railway.app → SERVFAIL (after successful deployment ID: 65d9b6d0)
  • habittrackerapp-prod.up.railway.app → SERVFAIL (after successful deployment ID: c66152d7)

Service status: Online, 1 replica running, port 8787 configured

Latest deployment: SUCCESS

This blocks all HTTP access. The service itself is healthy — the problem is DNS resolution on Railway's side.

Project: graceful-serenity

Service: habit_tracker_app

Deployment: c66152d7-906a-45f7-893f-8d23ef2cf7e0

The domain habittrackerapp-prod.up.railway.app is resolving correctly and your service is responding on it, so this is not a Railway-side DNS issue. The SERVFAIL is coming from your local DNS resolver. Try switching to a public resolver like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8), flush your local DNS cache, and test from a different network (e.g. mobile data instead of Wi-Fi) to confirm. The other two domains you listed (habittrackerapp-prod-v2 and habittrackerapp-production-new) are not configured on your service, only habittrackerapp-prod.up.railway.app exists. Note that requests reaching your app currently get a 404 because no route is defined for GET /.
