@sotirone said in DNS Resolver does not resolve certain hostnames before I restart it:

I recently switched it to use my VPN gateway instead of my WAN and now some hostnames will not resolve until I restart the service.

If you are only allowing for unbound to use your vpn interface - any problem with resolving could be with that connection or they not being able to talk to the authoritative ns for that domain, etc..

Did you flip what you posted between when it can and can not resolve.. the authoritative ns for that domain are

;; ANSWER SECTION:
insomnia.gr.            86400   IN      NS      isaac.ns.cloudflare.com.
insomnia.gr.            86400   IN      NS      rachel.ns.cloudflare.com.

Which are listed in your first paste, the 2nd paste is unbound telling you he it doesn't as yet know the ns for that domain, it would just ask the roots servers to find them..

If you can not talk to the authoritative ns for a specific domain, or find out who they are - then no you would not be able to resolve some specific fqdn in domainxyz.tld

sotirone

@johnpoz I did not flip anything.

I can ping every one of the hostnames of the dns servers so neither me nor my VPN provider is blocking or lacking access to the servers.

It is unusable so I have switched to 9.9.9.9 and forwarding for the time being. What else could be wrong and how could I diagnose?/////////////////

@sotirone said in DNS Resolver does not resolve certain hostnames before I restart it:

I can ping every one of the hostnames

You understand ping is not a dns query right ;) Ping what hostname? The roots - well no shit ;)

Can you directly query the ns for the domain in question?

sotirone

@johnpoz Seems like I cannot resolve the ns with unbound:

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf -s rachel.ns.cloudflare.com lookup insomnia.gr
[1558340860] unbound-control[400:0] fatal error: could not parse IP: rachel.ns.cloudflare.com

But running nslookup on pfsense itself:

nslookup insomnia.gr rachel.ns.cloudflare.com
Server:         rachel.ns.cloudflare.com
Address:        173.245.58.215#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   insomnia.gr
Address: 104.24.6.31
Name:   insomnia.gr
Address: 104.24.7.31

Derelict

-s server[@port]
   IPv4 or IPv6 address of the server to contact. If not given, the address is read from the config file.

That is not the name server to query but the unbound server that unbound-control should try to contact. And it does not resolve. It is asking for an IP address there.

Try: unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf -s 127.0.0.1 lookup insomnia.gr

johnpoz

@Derelict said in DNS Resolver does not resolve certain hostnames before I restart it:

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf -s 127.0.0.1 lookup insomnia.gr

that just asks unound who it would ask..

Until actually looked up that will just show the roots.. After actually looked up will show the actual NS for the domain

[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/root:

Please notice the 300 second ttl - so like every 5 minutes unbound would have to go ask those NS again.. Which if your having network issues talking to them - yeah could pose a problem..

sotirone

@johnpoz dig +trace fails with:

BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRAL
dig: too many lookups

Derelict

How about you post the actual output?

johnpoz

Yeah lets see where your getting that, since I am not seeing that at all..

Post up your dig +trace like I did.

Other than odd serial number, and out of norm ttl that domain checks out fine..

The trace is pretty straight forward, roots tell you ns for .gr, those tell you ns for domain, it replies the answer don't see where you would get bad referral.. Maybe your isp is dicking with your queries? I do not see any delegation or cnames even follow.

sotirone

@Derelict I am trying to post the output but it is too long for the forum. Here is a part of it, it then just repeats.

Well yeah you got something going on there..

Your TTLs are all wrong...

Your gr ttls are 85374, if you would of actually gotten them from the roots they would 172800

Those are NOT correct.. its like something is intercepting your queries..

Simple enough to ask a root server for the NS of gr.. Pick one of the roots and ask them for them..

That you didn't get back the FULL ttl something is not right... You should always get back the FULL ttl for the NS from roots.. when you ask them or trace..

Do a sniff on your wan when you do your trace so you can see exactly what is being asked, and what comes back.. But not getting back full TTL from roots points to possible interception..

When you ask an authoritative ns for a record that its authoritative for you will always get back the FULL TTL, not something less..

OR?? your not actually asking them for the domain in question but ns for gr again?? Do you have query name minimization set???

Nope I just tested that - and then doesn't doesn't cause the problem your seeing.. And getting back full TTL in every trace still, etc.. There is something going on - that your not getting back full TTL screams not actually talking to the authoritative NS..

edit: Just noticed this as well.. Why would it take you 231ms to retrieve the roots from local???

;; Received 525 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 231 ms

That should almost always be like 0 or 1 ms.. Did you not run that command that dig +trace command on pfsense itself? Or your running forwarder? on the local machine you ran it on?

i can t resolve vertele.eldiario.es, but if restart pfsense it works a few moments after fall down again

@diego_81 said in DNS Resolver does not resolve certain hostnames before I restart it:

That says it is RESOLVING fine. ICMP isn't being returned. You might want to stop looking at DNS resolution and start looking at why you cannot ping 74.208.83.233 at that moment in time.
