The bind-resolvers `openforwarder` view forwarded `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` to the in-cluster bind-externaldns (198.18.200.8), which is not reliably serving those records yet, so lookups return NXDOMAIN.
Concrete impact: Gitea cannot resolve the k8s-hosted CI host, so its outbound webhook fails and tagged releases never trigger CI (e.g. cutting a new bind-operator release from a tag).
This points the `fwd-k8s-syd1-au-unkin-net` forwarder at the existing external external-dns bind service anycast **198.18.19.20** (puppet `roles::infra::dns::externaldns` — master `ausyd1nxvm2127` + slaves `2128`/`2129`, advertised via OSPF), which still holds the working `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` records. It is in the same 198.18.19.0/24 anycast family as the consul forwarder (198.18.19.14) the resolvers already use, so it is reachable from the pods.
Temporary measure. Revert to 198.18.200.8 once external-dns publishes to the in-cluster bind-externaldns service. Only the forward target changes; no CRD/schema changes.
