Unable to illegal DNS record from pfsense (DNS-resolver corruption)

Ok but the PTR records for DC should provide the response there is no 100.*
What does that have to do with a forward query.. And yes there is a PTR for that 100 address, be it on your AD dns or not.
Not sure why you think a client would validate that the PTR matches the fqdn for some IP given back in A query. Yes some software can do this - smtp is known for doing such a check but that is not something typical to happen.
I have not had to play with MS dns for quite some time. But yes if however it finds that 100 answer it would cache, maybe you have a configured device registering that in your AD dns?
You would have to look to your AD dns on where it might have that entered or cached. But clearing the cache would not stop it from caching it again if when asked for something it resolves that something back to the 100.x address.
So if a client asks your AD dns for something that is not in your namespace what does it do - does it resolve it, does it forward it to pfsense? Does it forward it to some external dns?
Where exactly did you find this 100 address - you mention something about an interface? What I can tell you is that does not resolve on the public internet for sb.domain.com be it either of the examples you have given. And anything.whatever.etc.local would not resolve anywhere on the public internet
If you are using say pfblocker on pfsense - and your AD forwards to pfsense, then its possible that IP is getting returned as your blocked IP?

This is since for .mydomain.local both SOA tells the administrative / authoritative zones for abc.mydomain.local is domain controller, and I expect it to return the correct address.

I check all records there is none for 100.* address.

according to DHCP settings it should goto pfsense for addresses where NS is no authoritative, proof is in the DNS-REPLY.LOG from pfblockerng below
https://www.reddit.com/r/pfBlockerNG/comments/zneaec/comment/j0hpsw1/?context=3
see the dns-reply.log, (I cannot put here as it get flagged as spam idk)this is all outbound forward request made by DC the IP address is DC, and you can in response it brought back 100.*. This is the first entry of its own kind of entire /var/log. Under snort this IP address was present as PASSLIST but that passlist was not associated on snort interfaces.
Currently pfblockerng is disabled. Previously I couldn't ping this IP too, but now I can when I remove its alert entry in snort.
And anything.whatever.etc.local would not resolve anywhere on the public internet
I agree its not, but for all .local address nslookup it bring to 100.x which is no the correct PTR record for this zone.

based upon tracert results the query is going outside the network to find 100.2.3.4
-
@asadz well yeah if clients asks for something and gets back a IP that is not local - it would try to get their via its gateway.
The question is here is why/how is it getting this 100.2.3.4 address for what is being asked..
Where does AD get its answers when what is asked is not in your namespace? Does it forward, to where - does it resolve? Tell you right now .local would not resolve on the public internet.
You would get back a SOA for the roots because .local is not a valid TLD. There should be no way anything .local should be resolvable to anything outside your network.
Your 2 example sb.scorecard or sb.scorecodesearch.com do not resolve to 100.x on the public internet either. So somewhere you have it setup to return that 100.x address for something, be it a host entry in unbound or your AD, or some sort of wild card, etc. when there is a .local tld
100.x which is no the correct PTR record for this zone.
Not understanding your thought process on how that has anything to do with anything..
To get to the bottom of this - just take pfsense and your AD talking to each other out of the equation. Again what is your AD dns setup to do when you ask it for something it is not authoritative for - its either going to forward, or its going to resolve. If forwarding to pfsense change that so it forwards to say gooledns or cloudflare or something.. On pfsense remove any domain overrides for .local etc..
Now query each of them for your fqdn that is returning the bad 100.x address.

@asadz flush the entries where? Not sure why you care about connections and traceroutes - if stuff your client want to talk to are resolving to this IP address, then its a give they will attempt to make these connections.
Those all go away when you have correct resolution of what your actually trying to get to - so now there is a proxy as well - proxies unless transparent will resolve things for where the client asks them to go, resolution is done by the proxy not the client when proxy is explicitly set on the client.

@johnpoz yes using HAPROXY but its for reverse proxy , I don't think it will effect how for addresses that local e.g .local.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20070195800Thanks bbcan177, but this is not a design issue in my view all was working fine on Dec-14, you can see in dns-reply.logs above where the 100.2.3.4 first appear.
I tested with my vpn client DNS addresses set to 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4 and on DNS resolver there is no static mapping or override for
pingme.mydomain.local
but still i'm getting response from 100., I think this is due to stale state table entry for 100. can i get ride of them without restarting firewall?. Thankyou

No it has nothing to do with a state... You still have not answered the basic question of where does your AD point to??
-
@johnpoz you mean the DNS server it uses?
-
@johnpoz it points to itself as primary and as alternative to pfsense
-
@asadz said in Unable to illegal DNS record from pfsense (DNS-resolver corruption):
No that is NOT what I mean, and DC should never point to anything but itself.. Or its the other DC running dns running in your network.
Where does it go when a client asks it for something not in its namespace.. You setup MS dns to either forward or resolve - just like you do unbound in pfsense. The dns set on the interface has nothing to do with that.
-
@johnpoz pls see the output the second ip is pfsense interface (web-ui). First is second DC.
-
@johnpoz should i check DC2 settings as well, which is second domain controller..
-
@asadz also i checked DC2 points to PFsense infra interface (don't know why) should it not point to DC1 server IP address?
-
@asadz and what is this 192.168.4.4?
And yes you need to check both of them.
If they are not set to forward to pfsense.. And you still resolve your whatever to 100, then you prove to yourself its your AD dns issue..
Forward them to say google dns - these are the name servers used for resolving stuff not in your name space - they should not point to your AD for dns.. These are used to resolve the internet stuff, not stuff you are authoritative for forwarding to AD.. When then does what with it when asking for say www.google.com - forwards it back to the other one?
-
@johnpoz great makes 100% sense let me try this variation now.
-
@asadz
test done on DC1, DC2 i removed all pfsense IP put 8.8.8.8 in DC2,
in fwd section of DC1 i have put IP address of DC2, and I also tried put 8.8.8.8 with no reference of DC2, still resolves to 100.* :(
