Vlans will not DNS resolve
-
@sentein Also, restart DNS Resolver after you add the VLAN interface(s).

@sentein that server is pointing to itself for dns 127.0.0.1, where is it actually trying to go?
Do a directed query.. with nslookup change using server to like 8.8.8.8 then try your query
$ nslookup Default Server: sg4860.home.arpa Address: 192.168.9.253 > server 8.8.8.8 Default Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 > www.google.com Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.google.com Addresses: 2607:f8b0:4009:81a::2004 142.250.190.132Does that work? Ok set it your pfsense IP.. I take it that is that 10.10.4.4 address?

@johnpoz sorry for the delay. the wife wanted to go out to eat. Thank you for the help with this. I ran the test you mentioned. When specifying the server the nslookup actually worked.
I am figuring this means my actual problem is in the server itself. Please correct me if i am incorrect. If thats the case i guess i need to go root around in the setting for the server.

@sentein so yeah linux will point to itself like that, and then forward elsewhere - but where it actually forwards to you have no idea where, which isn't working what flavor of linux are you running? prob using netplan would be my guess. Not really a fan..
For example this version of ubuntu is doing it.
user@UC:~$ nslookup > www.google.com Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.google.com Address: 172.217.0.164 >prob want to make sure its listening on 53..
user@UC:~$ netstat -anl | grep :53 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:*And you can see where its pointing

@johnpoz Right now this server is running linux mint 21.3 edge. I tried ubuntu headless but i could not wrap my head around netplan. ubuntu wanted to route everything through the 10Gbe because it was faster. That was not working because the 10Gbe interface was and still is completely isolated. I did try to figure out what is going on with the DNS on the server. Below is the command and the output. It seems that my DNS settings are being forwaded to the server. I am a bit lost as to what it is doing. If you are sure that my problem is in the OS i can go bother someone else. At that point it is not a pfsense problem.

@sentein said in Vlans will not DNS resolve:
DNS Servers: 10.10.5.4
And what IP is that, you should be pointing to pfsense lan IP..
-
@johnpoz that is the DHCP server for the vlan in question. 10.10.4.4 is the LAN DHCP server. So i should requires it to point to the LAN PFsense IP? Maybe thats most of my issue.
-
@sentein does this dhcp server provide dns?
Doesn't seem to - do a directed query to it..
-
@johnpoz I thought it was supposed to. Maybe i have something wrong.... I have a second PC for the PFsense box. Should i just start over?
-
@johnpoz No freaking idea what i did but now everything is working....
-
@sentein Huh? So you have dhcp running on pfsense.. Thought you said you had a different dhcp server?
Also Unless you put unbound into forwarding mode, setting those dns servers is pointless..
