Thank you for your help. it does give insights into the problem.

if you check dnsviz history, this does not happen everytime.

the bind version is BIND 
9.20.8-1+0~20250416.117+debian12~1.gbp1ea9dd-Debian

obtained from: https://www.isc.org/download/  —->  
https://bind.debian.net/bind

there are no firewalls or load balancers. these are directly connected 
to internet. i was running BIND 9.18 official debian package and got no 
errors like this.
