Yes, it works in every other CF except LCA-CF. Thank you for the
additional data point.

You can use `dig CHAOS TXT id.server @1.1.1.1 +nsid` to get two
unicast identifiers for the server you got the response from.

Try asking dns-operations () lists dns-oarc net for someone at CloudFlare.

For what it's worth, it works for me.  I'm in Troy, OH.

C:\Users\jluthman>dig www.moi.gov.cy @1.1.1.1 +short
212.31.118.26

Ultimately, you're asking them to provide a costly service (support for end-users, the vast majority of whom will 
not ask informed, intelligent questions like the members of this list would be able to, but would still demand the 
same level of support) on top of a service they are already providing at no cost. That's both unrealistic and 
unnecessary. There's an exceedingly simple solution, here, after all: if you don't like their service or it isn't 
working for you as an end-user, don't use it.


Thank you for the philosophical perspective, but currently my interest is not to debate merits or lack thereof in 
laissez-faire economics.

The problem is, a large number of people will use 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9 despite my or your position about it. 
There is incentive for providers to provide it 'for free', as it adds value to their products as users are 
compensating providers with the data.

Occasionally things don't work and when they do not, we need a way to inform the provider 'hey you have a problem'. 
You could be anywhere in this chain, with no ability to impact any of the decisions.

I know there is a real problem, I know real users are impacted, I know almost none of them will have the ability to 
understand why there is a problem or remediate it.
