RCS domain lookup failure

Hi,

When using NextDNS with standard DNS, DoH or DoT I cannot lookup the RCS domain used by my mobile network -

mplus.ims.vodafone.com

I've tried whitelisting the domain, removing all blocklists and disabling cache boosting, CNAME flattening and anonymous EDNS to rule out interference. I've also tried a new configuration with the default settings. In all cases, NextDNS logs show no relevant blocked entries when performing these queries.

Response from NextDNS -

Is there a workaround? This looks to be a bug in NextDNS.

Thanks.
