Hi,
while checking for differences I've found two other domains that don't
resolve while other recursors do:
$ dig +timeout=60 @100.1.2.3 geiger-fm.de. txt
; <<>> DiG 9.18.47-1~deb12u1-Debian <<>> +timeout=60 @100.1.2.3
geiger-fm.de. txt
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

and
$ dig @100.1.2.3 Stadtwerke-Northeim.de txt

I'm wondering what's wrong here and if
it's possible to mitigate that.
This is an interesting case. Incidentally I've been working on a large rewrite
which spans also code responsible for this failure. Fixing this case was easy
now, after that refactor. I hope to deliver it to releases soon, probably 5.x
as well - but if you're starting with Knot Resolver, I strongly recommend
skipping 5.x versions.
