Description

If a domain is not found, the "valid" parameter is still effective, so if it becomes available again, nginx fails to resolve it until the cache timeout is reached.

This is likely to happen with docker-compose. Each container is accessed by its name using DNS resolution. If one of the containers is down and nginx looks it up, it will fail and will keep failing even if the container is brought up.

If I change the resolver to 127.0.0.11 valid=5s then it works as expected.

Could you please provide more details about the configuration you are having issues with? In particular, full configuration and a debug log demonstrating the problem might be helpful. Negative DNS responses are not cached by nginx, and what you describe suggests that the issue is likely elsewhere.

I'll try to create a minimal reproducible example.
