Expected Behaviour:
[Domain go.advantaira.com should not return 0.0.0.0]
Actual Behaviour:
[go.advantaira.com has address 0.0.0.0]
Your observation is expected.
0.0.0.0 would suggest that go.advantaira.com is blocked by Pi-hole, as that would be the default answer for a blocked domain. And indeed, until recently, that domain would be blocked by Pi-hole's default blocklist.
Use Tools | Search Adlists to find out which of your blocklists would contain that domain.

Yeah, looks like the version of Steven Black's list that's in my pihole has it. But, the latest one does not. I ran updateGravity and restartdns, but it's still returning 0.0.0.0.
What is the output of the following from the Pi terminal:
pihole -q go.advantaira.com
You are correct: That specific domain reportedly has been removed from Steven Black's Unified blocklist by May 6, 2022.
However, my Pi-hole was last updated on May 8, and it still contained it today.
I've done the same as you, and running a gravity update right now fixed it for me.
The most likely explanation would be that the downloaded list does still contain it (perhaps as cached by some mirror or proxy involved?).
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -q go.advantaira.com
[i] No results found for go.advantaira.com within the adlists
This output indicates that the domain is not in any of your adlists, blacklist or whitelist.
What is the output of the following from the Pi terminal:
nslookup go.advantaira.com 127.0.0.1
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nslookup go.advantaira.com 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Your output shows that Pi-hole is still blocking the domain. As it is not an any adlist right now, it's usually a CNAME which is blocked. Make sure none of the CNAMES are on your adlist or are all whitelisted

@jfb unfortunately I have logging disabled. But, it looks like it's the CNAME getting blocked as @yubiuser pointed out.
