I'm trying to set up dnsmasq as a dns server on a virtual machine running Debian. I can successfully run nslookup from another computer: nslookup facebook.com 10.0.11.2 and the answer I get is:

Server:        10.0.11.2
Address:       10.0.11.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    facebook.com
Address: 173.252.110.27

Now when I do a lookup for a local address such as nslookup router.domain.com 10.0.11.2 and the answer I get is ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

(However on the actual dns server, running a traceroute uses "router.domain.com" rather than its IP address)

My dnsmasq.conf contains:

address=/router.domain.com/10.0.11.2
no-resolv
server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4

and my resolv.conf contains:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
search domain.com

What might the problem be?

Cheers

So, the line in your config file:

no-resolv

tells dnsmasq to ignore the contents of your resolv.conf file. Perhaps you should comment that line out?

There's a pretty good article at: http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/dnsmasq#Local_Caching that describes this.

  • I changed that, but still have the same problems as above.

I left BIND enabled! Sorted now.
