Please upgrade your nodes to v5.0.3 as soon as possible. Release notes are available at github.com/algorand/go-algor…. This patch fixes an issue with DNSSEC validation that prevents nodes from bootstrapping into the network when started or restarted. The issue affects all types of nodes.

This would result in the node being unable to connect to the network.
