Tinydns setup + resolution

chunk0r

Hi,

I'm very new in DNS at practice. I use Pfsense 2.0 + tinydns package. I have running a samba server as PDC on a different machine and I also want DNS for it on pfsense.

So my net looks like that
Samba Server 192.168.1.200 workgroup = foo.intern
int. 192.168.1.1 /
pfsense <–--- 192.168.1.0/24

Clients

My domain is foo.intern
pfsense host: mcp
Tinydns is binded at 127.0.0.1 and is listen on all NICs

tinydns data, created with the wizard

.foo.intern::ns.foo.intern.:30
+foo.intern:192.168.1.1:30

resolv.conf
domain foo.intern
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 172.16.23.1 <--ISP DNS

dns forwarder activated
no dnscache
the only thing which works is, ping mcp.foo.intern from all my clients but I cant reach any client hostnames.

Thanks

I have also a lot of problems getting DNScache to work, but TinyDNS seems to work fine for me if changing the Bind Address to the internal one.

I cannot get this thing to work.

My config:
Binding to 127.0.0.1
Interface to listen: all
Enable recursive DNS responder: ON
Zone transfers: 127.0.0.1

When I try nslookup google.com 127.0.0.1, I get:
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find google.com: No answer

On log I get:
2011-11-05 14:47:31.238454500 0.0.0.0:9673 A responded google.com

Please help!

If I take off: Enable recursive DNS responder, then on my log I get:

2011-11-05 15:25:38.152130500 0.0.0.0:4055 A not_authority www.google.com

Besides, my resolv.conf gets edited everytime I reboot/restart the server, where I stop that (script) ?

Solved.
