NethServer Version: 7.6 Module: network / dns
Hi all,
I’m running neth on a PC with 2 NICs as a gateway.
One NIC is configured as red and is connected to my ISP supplied HFC router / modem. I have configured this NIC to receive an IP from the router’s dhcp service (192.168.0.x).
The other NIC is configured as green (10.0.0.1) and the internal network DHCP is setup on this one.
I have not created any bridges as I don’t really need AD for the network here.
The named servers are configured to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Since I have installed Nethserver, I have had intermittent issues resolving internet server names (I can still ping external servers using ip addresses, but their domain names).
Typically, this happens at least once a day and seems to happen when the network is under load (I have 3 teenagers…….)
Any support would be appreciated
Hi Markus,
Thank you for your reply.
While troubleshooting, I had set the red IP address to static and reserved the IP on the router.
The nethserver as well as all of the clients experience the inability to resolve names though I can ping external addresses,.
Nslookup fails to resolve the domain names when I have attempted it from both the command line and through the web UI.
When the issues is being experienced, the external IP address displayed in the diagnostics page is also lost.
Hi Marrkus,
Thank you for suggesting the lower level logging.
I have discovered what was happening. The log files indicated that the outgoing request was attempting to resolve using the green interface. After some investigations, the issue seems to be the driver that was being used on the red NIC. I swapped out the NIC and reset the network configuration and it looks like we are back up and running.
