"Unknown (0)" status

Pi-hole: 5.2.4
Web Interface: 5.3.1
FTL: 5.5.1

I noticed a few strange entries from the HomePods I recently added to my network. Here's an example for one of them:

What is this "Unknown (0)" status? Only the HomePods seem to be generating queries returning this status on my network.

Here's the relevant part of the (slightly sanitized) pihole.log:

Anybody has any idea why they appear as white entries with the "Unknown (0)" status?

There were some changes in the underlying DNS engine which resulted in a new status type. You will find more info in this related github issue (its already being fixed for the next release): Since Update to Pi-hole v5.2.4 Web Interface v5.3.1 FTL v5.5.1 I have a lot of Unknown (0) entries in the Query Log · Issue #1713 · pi-hole/web · GitHub
