#8710 Some domain names are not resolvable via IPA DNS
Closed: fixed 3 years ago by sorlov. Opened 3 years ago by sorlov.

Issue

When IPA server is installed with DNS support and a forwarder is configured, name resolution fails for some external names (not from IPA domain).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Setup IPA server with DNS, use forwarder
  2. On IPA master try to resolve name "fedoraproject.org"

Actual behavior

Resolution fails

Expected behavior

Resolution works

Additional information

I have created small test to demonstarte the issue: PR, test report.

The IPA server is installed with DNS enabled and when executed in PR-CI it uses dnsmasq provided by libvirt as the forwarder. In the test we try to resolve three names: "fedoraproject.org", "debian.org", "gentoo.org". Resolution via dnsmasq succeeds for all three names. Resolution via IPA nameserver fails for two names.

The issue seems to be also related with network environment as the same test runs successfully on personal PR-CI instance with identical version of PR-CI software:
PR, test report


The issue was fixed by changing configuration of firewall for PR-CI runners - allow outbound TCP connections for port 53.

Since there is nothing on FreeIPA side to be done here, I am closing the ticket.
