I have two centos/bind dns servers -
masterdns.internal.example.com secondarydns.internal.example.com if configuring a desktop I can assign the DNS addresses for each and can successfully ping internal servers on my network using the fqdn.
The problem is from my openwrt router I am unable to ping anything but the IP address of a server. I have a funny feeling it's because of dnsmasq is muddying the issue but I've tried disabling it and hasn't solved the issue.
Seems like it's having issues routing to the DNS servers even though I've specified them in my interface.
on my openwrt router I have the lan setup with the following info
ipaddr - 10.77.1.100 netmask - 255.255.255.0 gateway - 10.77.1.10 custom dns - 10.77.1.50, 10.77.1.51 under dhcp and dns
local domain - internal.example.com DNS forwardings - 10.77.1.50, 10.77.1.51 From my openwrt router (with the ip of 10.77.1.100) I can do a ping to 10.77.1.50 but I cannot ping to any of the following -
masterdns masterdns.internal masterdns.internal.example masterdns.internal.example.com All return the same failure "ping: bad address 'masterdns'"
