[Solved] DNS Resolver SERVFAIL
-
I have been using DNS Resolver in Forwarding mode for a long time because I have been having problems.
I just switched to regular mode and DNSSEC 10 minutes ago and I am experiencing the same problems.
Trying to lookup www.lawrencesystems.com from my computer either through Firefox or the terminal I get SERVFAIL.
Doing so through the DNS Lookup tab on pfsense, I get an answer with the IP of the server.
What is going on?
Edit: Also, before I do get valid replies, I have to refresh the browser page multiple times to finally get the resolved address. Is it supposed to be that slow? That does not happen on all sites but happens on about 50%.
Edit2: Well the DNS Resolver works as expected after a reboot. The dig command does continue to act up but all of my DNS queries are getting resolved perfectly, even with DNSSEC on.

No issues resolving that here.. If you say your clients are having issues, but pfsense is not you sure your clients are pointing to pfsense? So your clients pointing to pfsense would use unbound, while the dns diag tab might use something else? If your going to use the resolver, the only thing pfsense should point to is itself
See only 127.0.0.1 is listed and used, no other dns.
If your having an issue resolving something, I would look to see where that might be failing.. You can do dig +trace on your pfsense box directly

Here is the dig +trace dump from the problematic machine:
https://pastebin.com/ayWf9KV9
I have to use pastebin as this post gets over the character limit of the forum.Here is a trace from another pfsense device I have. It is in a different location but has identical DNS Resolver settings and Firewall and NAT rules. It is also using the same VPN service as a gateway at the same location as the problematic one:
https://pastebin.com/YZcqCn06
I have tried with other domains as well. I don't actually know what the columns represent but I have noticed this:
The machine that works correctly always shows 172800 and 86400 at the second column at the second stage after contacting the root servers (as does yours):
https://pastebin.com/NjLF1BqS
The problematic machine shows 56555 and 64147 in one instance and 56692 and 64284 in another.

Ok this is a problem
couldn't get address for 'j.gtld-servers.net': not found couldn't get address for 'k.gtld-servers.net': not found couldn't get address for 'f.gtld-servers.net': not foundSee this
;; BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRALThat means you are having a problem resolving.. Its a loop that yeah will time out and most likely give you a servfail..
What specific machine was that done on? That was on pfsense machine, so look to see what IPs it has for roots. You could do the lookup command I did above for just .
unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf lookup .
You should get back something like this at the end showing the IPs for roots.

Do you mean what hardware? It is not a Netgate device, it is an HP T620 Plus thin client.
