I’m pulling my hair out over this. I’ve got a proxmox homelab, an LXC running technitium installed from TTeck’s script.
The DNS server is also doing DHCP for my network. I have an authoritative zone for ‘.lan’
I can get NS, SOA, TXT records from the DNS server, but no A records! The DNS query logs show that it gives an answer, and if I am on the DNS server itself I get an answer, but no other machines on the network hear the reply.
I think this means the DNS server is working properly. There are no FWs in the way as I can resolve other types.
Where else can I look, or how can I diagnose this? I am completely at a loss.
You also could do nslookup on Windows
nslookup is available on macOS and most Linux distros as well (and very helpful indeed).
Don’t you mean
digWell, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.
Host is also really great with more human-readable output.
Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.
