      I have a really odd issue with my DNS resolution and i can't really figure out where to even start debugging it!.

      So the setup:
      4 sites, A, B, C, D

      Site A (main site)

      • VPN server for Site B, C and D (A-B, A-C, A-D).
      • so Site A has 3 vpn servers (one for each site

      FRR between site and all works fine with IP.

      The issue i have is with DNS. So my dns is configured with domain overrides for each site (on dns resolver on each site). If i navigate to the router on from/to any site it doesn't find anything, wait 15 seconds or so and it resolves correctly. If i then don't use that address for a while it looses the dns and then i have to navigate to the address and wait 15 second again.

      So i think the issue is its not storing dns domain overrides anywhere (hence looses them) and also isn't correctly forwarding the requests hence not getting a timely response.

      I can work around this by adding host overrides for the main addresses i use but i would rather fix it so it resolves correctly.

      So the question is.....Where should i begin debugging the issue?
