The ultralow SGN server is not connected?

Hi,

Starting yesterday, I noticed that the ultralow SGN servers are still active, but IP address records aren't returning these SGN servers. Are the authoritative DNS servers updating their databases with new IP address locations, or is there some kind of error causing the identification of IPs near the ultralow servers?

This is the output from the Viettel network:

The IP addresses in Can Tho and Kien Giang are located near the SGN server (based on ping), but are currently connecting to the HAN server. Here are the IP location results (from Maxmind):

I tried querying public DNS servers with ECS (such as OpenDNS/Quad9 ECS/Google DNS), and they all returned the same HAN server IP record. This is the `dns.nextdns.io` record with the authoritative DNS servers:

I asked friends at other network providers (VNPT, FPT, Viettel) to provide additional output:

* Viettel

* VNPT

* FPT 

Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon.

Thank you!
