When I run

nslookup internal.foo.com

I get

Server:         127.0.1.1
Address:        127.0.1.1#53

** server can't find internal.foo.com: NXDOMAIN

For some reason, I am not getting the 172.17.51.3 internal DNS server I added. How do I fix this (via command-line if possible)?

/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.1.1
search foo.com

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Ethernet\ connection\ 1

[802-3-ethernet]
duplex=full

[connection]
id=Ethernet connection 1
uuid=4ccfdffe-b3e5-4fb2-906f-28a3e1c7a71b
type=802-3-ethernet
timestamp=1387729723

[ipv6]
method=auto

[ipv4]
method=manual
dns=172.17.51.3;8.8.8.8;
dns-search=foo.com;
address1=172.17.51.9/24,172.17.51.1

SOLUTION

I don't know why NetworkManager seems to be misbehaving, but following the instructions from here seems to work.

Essentially, you appear to have to do something like this:

echo "nameserver 172.17.51.3
nameserver 8.8.8.8
search foo.com" | sudo resolvconf -a eth0.inet

I think your nameserver setting isn't correct here. try removing that line and making it 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS which you have set in the NetworkManager). If you look in the query it is using the 127.0.1.1 (Which is a localhost typo of 127.0.0.1)

  • actually, I need to look at my internal DNS server 172.17.51.3 first for the ip mapping to internal.foo.com (foo.com is my internal domain) - what is the correct format in that file? – kfmfe04 Dec 26 '13 at 11:07
