When I try to resolve any .law address from Sweden or Denmark, I get a SERVFAIL error. If I use a VPN to change my traffic to any neighboring country, it works correctly. If I use any of the other major DNS servers, it also works correctly. This is a major outage for us because these are our primary customer locations and several of them are using Google DNS at their offices.

I have opened an issue with Google about this, but it does not seem to be getting acted upon very quickly. Are there any options for escalation here?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

We are aware of the issue with this TLD and other godaddy operated TLDs and reviewing options to resolve the issue.
