No resolver could be asked what it is serving
InfoConfirmeddns.propagation.probe-unavailable
What this check looks for
We could not query the public resolvers, so nothing was compared. This says nothing about your domain — only that the check did not run.
Why it matters
A blank propagation table has to be distinguishable from a consistent one, or the report would be reassuring you on the strength of having looked at nothing.
What it costs your score
This check never deducts. It reports a fact — or reports that something could not be verified — and is shown on the report without moving the score.

Technical detail
The propagation sweep did not run: ‹reason›. The sweep queries a dozen public resolvers directly, which requires UDP/53 to a chosen address and therefore the probe host. No finding in this module is emitted when it is unavailable.
