I'm running MySQL5.6.3 on a CentOS 6.1 virtual machine running on Windows XP in VirtualBox.
The network card is configured in bridge mode, so my physical & virtual machines share the same ethernet card.
On the virtual machine, everything works fine: internet access, DNS lookups. However, connections to the MySQL daemon take a while, and the logs keep showing this warning:
[Warning] IP address '192.168.1.201' could not be resolved: Temporary failure in name resolution
192.168.1.201
is my host machine on which I'm runnning the MySQL client.
Looks like although DNS lookups work fine, reverse DNS lookups end up in a timeout.
Here is the virtual machine configuration:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
HWADDR="08:00:27:4B:3D:7C"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.200
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
PEERDNS=yes
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.1
Is there something wrong in my network configuration?
