Why nslookup returns an IP Address yet ends in SERVFAIL

Issue

• When running nslookup for a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the command returns a valid IPv4 address but still ends with a SERVFAIL error.

  # nslookup subdomain.domain.com
  Server:         192.168.0.9
  Address:        192.168.0.9#53
  
  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name:   subdomain.domain.com
  Address: 10.22.22.105
  ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.0.9, trying next server
  ** server can't find subdomain.domain.com: SERVFAIL
  

• The same DNS query may work without errors when performed from Windows systems.
