"not subdomain of zone {XXXX} -- invalid response" errors found in named.run log

Actually, the background is a little bit complicated. In short, the topo is as belows. dns1 were swapped by a new one (say dns1*), then the issue happened. After that, we dropped all the AAAA request from dns1*, then the issue was gone.


There is no config change during the whole process, no idea why the caching server has such log.

Thanks mark, but why this issue is related to load balancer?

Complain to the administrators of the zone. They have not properly delegated it.  We see this often with load balancers. 

The zone a.b.example has been delegated but the answer is as if it is from b.example.

One day, I found that the size of named.run is increasing very quickly. And a lot of "invalid response" entries were spotted in the log. Details is as follows (I replace the sensitive info with  {xxxx},{AAA} etc.)
 
DNS format error from {IP}#53 resolving {XXXX}.bf.bf.node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org/AAAA for client 169.254.4.50#51099: Name epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org (SOA) not subdomain of zone node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org -- invalid response
 
The response related to the above log is as follows:
 
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id:  50664 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUESTION: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;{XXXX}.bf.bf.node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org. IN AAAA
 
;; AUTHORITY SECTION: ;epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org. 86400 IN SOA	.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.gprs. dns-admin. ( ;						2020122704 ; serial ;						10800      ; refresh (3 hours) ;						3600       ; retry (1 hour) ;						604800     ; expire (1 week) ;						86400      ; minimum (1 day) ;						)
 
============================================

Normally, the FQDN should be cached as a NXRRSET record as follows: 

{XXXX}.bf.bf.node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org. 8412 -AAAA ;-$NXRRSET
 
But when the issue happens, it cannot be cached, I guess it's related to the "invalid response" log.
 
From the error log, it mentions "zone node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org", but I'm wondering where the zone "node.epc.mnc{AAA}.mcc{BBB}.3gppnetwork.org" comes from? I cannot found the related SOA record in the dump file.
