Ubuntu 13.04 and local dns?

Question

linux

Hello everyone, I configured bind9 locally to delegate the .local zone without forwarding to external dns. Added to /etc/conf/resolvconf/tail nameserver 127.0.0.1and updated resolv.conf with resolvconf -u. However, when trying to access any domain in this zone, the host not found error pops up. As I understand it, the problem is that when resolving an ip address by domain name, a multicast request is sent to all dns servers in resolv.conf, and if one of them answers that the host was not found, then a response from other servers is not expected. Tried to change this behavior via /etc/nsswitch.conf, but that didn't help either. How can I make ubuntu resolve first on local dns and then on external one? bind is configured correctly, since both dig and nslookup will resolve ip addresses (only if you hard-code them which dns server to use).

Answer 1

Everything is much easier. In ubuntu, the box comes with dnsmasq.
Create a /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/file here ( ) with the following content:

address=/local/127.0.0.1

Restart network manager and that's it.

Answer 2

Look at the link: tyts .
The truth is there for Debian, but the meaning is the same. Yesterday we successfully raised it.

Answer 3

I did it through dnsmasq, but I still had to change nsswitch. Now the local zone works, but for a long time, since it intersects with avahi. The problem with avahi is in the process of being resolved. I think to change its default zone, but a question arose. If another computer chose an address in the local zone, and mine in lo. Will that one be visible from mine, but, in the local zone?
