My firewall computer, running openSUSE 13.1 no longer uses external DNS look up, but does use the hosts file. Wireshark shows it's not even attempting to access the DNS servers. I have tried recreating resolv.conf, but the problem remains. Any idea why it wouldn't access DNS servers? Routing to the Internet is fine.
I got things going again by putting the tunnel server address in my hosts file. Why does DNS look up not pass through the failed IPv6 DNSs and use 8.8.8.8? Is this a new "feature" that came in with a recent update? I thought the point of having multiple DNS servers was for fallback should one fail.
That plus load-sharing. I use a setup similar to yours when I'm away from the office (on a vpn) - I list the vpn dns first, which clearly isn't available until the vpn is running. Fail-over to the other listed nameservers works just fine. I don't use any ipv6 servers though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
