    OK, now I am even more interested. dig doesn’t return an A record:

    $ dig glauca.digital a
    
    ; <<>> DiG 9.20.27 <<>> glauca.digital a
    ;; global options: +cmd
    ;; Got answer:

    Somehow, it does work in a browser. I tried different DNS servers as well (including NextDNS which I use in a browser), none returns an A record (or AAAA). So, naturally, I am curios what IP the browser uses. Since it clearly works, I tried ping just so that I could see the resulting IP, and figure out where it’s coming from.

    $ ping glauca.digital
    ping: glauca.digital: No address associated with hostname
    

    Great. That makes absolutely no sense at all. Where is Firefox getting the information from?
    So I went to about:networking DNS tab. The address field is empty. I am just typing this as I test. It’s just cache in my browser.

    I guess that would answer on reliability question. At least their nameservers still resolve to IP.
