what is wrong with DNS name 'covid19booster.healthservice.ie' ? : Google : what is Google's secret DNS service ?

[Jason Vas Dias]

Thanks, but no one suggested removing my forwarders list .
I figured out that must be the issue, and will try that .
I thought it might be more efficient to use forwarders on my ISP's
network - I see now I should not have .
If someone had simply suggested removing my forwarders, I would
have tried that .
Thanks, all the best,
Jason
