DNS Resolver not resolving AWS domain [SOLVED]

dragoangel

I have tested on separate clean-configured pfSense 2.3.3 (unbound 1.6.0) systems resolving of domain: locationperf.cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com and it cannot be resolved by 127.0.0.1. Default DNS for systems are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 that can resolve this domain. All other domains resolved ok. If I add "Host Overrides" it begin working, but its spike-nail. Can anybody confirm that he can resolve this domain over pfSense?

Answer from pfSense:
Shell Output - nslookup locationperf.cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find locationperf.cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com: No answer

Correct Answer:
Shell Output - nslookup locationperf.cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: locationperf.cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com
Address: 172.22.28.208

Ok, have any ideas how to troubleshoot this stuff? :-\ Because it happened same way on two different clean systems…

geo location or regional DNS server differences? I resolve from Germany.

jahonix

The site www.ping.eu (datacenter in Germany) can resolve to 172.22.28.208 but is not able to ping it.

You do realize that AWS has been doing a Chernobyl over the last day right?

Of course it can't ping it. It is an RFC1918 address.

Which is also why unbound is refusing the answer.

@Derelict:

It is an RFC1918 address.

Sure, yes ::) Time to go to bed…

@Derelict:

What do you mean?
But about RFC1918 I understand this but don't saw it by myself, :(
And yep: DNS Rebind Check
When this is unchecked, the system is protected against DNS Rebinding attacks. This blocks private IP responses from the configured DNS servers. Check this box to disable this protection if it interferes with webConfigurator access or name resolution in the environment.
The question closed. Thx everybody.

Derelict

You can also add:

server:
private-domain: "cy5eym4polgk.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com"

To the custom options box in unbound and keep rebinding protection enabled globally.

dragoangel

Thx, big guru ^__^

johnpoz

why would it resolve to rfc1918? Public resolve should not return public - this is why unbound blocks it even.. So your fix was to tell unbound that its private? Curious why it resolves rfc1918 in the first place? And how exactly would you get there anyway? So you have a vpn connection to aws?

Yes my coworkers haves vpn, and it resolving in private address only. I'm to really confused that they use public domains for resolving private networks IPs… :-
I deal with it like Derelict told me:
