1. A method comprising:
- storing, by a domain name system (DNS) device, DNS entries in a local cache;
sending, by the DNS device, a DNS query to another device to obtain an update to one of the DNS entries;
determining, by the DNS device, whether a DNS response for the DNS query is received;
reading, by the DNS device, a response code value included in the DNS response in response to determining that the DNS response is received; and
selecting, by the DNS device, an error category corresponding to the response code value based on the reading.
