I’m having issues in Google Search Console for my website `helpful-cajeta-658265.netlify.app.`

These are the DNS records I’m using

```auto
@ ALIAS apex-loadbalancer.netlify.com
www CNAME helpful-cajeta-658265.netlify.app.

```

And this is the error I’m seeing in Google Search Console  
`Failed: DNS server unresponsive`

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? Thanks

This is an issue with the DNS which is gandi _(not Netlify)_

```bash
% dig studiomonty.be NS
studiomonty.be. 10800	IN	NS	ns-99-b.gandi.net.
studiomonty.be. 10800	IN	NS	ns-102-c.gandi.net.
studiomonty.be. 10800	IN	NS	ns-144-a.gandi.net.

```

`whois` shows no nameservers which is the re

```bash
% whois studiomonty.be | grep -i server
% IANA WHOIS server
nserver: A.NSSET.BE 194.0.6.1 2001:678:9:0:0:0:0:1
nserver: B.NSSET.BE 194.0.37.1 2001:678:64:0:0:0:0:1

This isn’t an issue with Netlify, but the registrar/DNS provider.
