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.

    Just to be sure you do dig A @server $domain (with the “A”) and can confirm the following

    SERVER is your server

    ;; ANSWER SECTION is empty (or doesn’t exist)

    ;; AUTHORITY SECTION mentions your local DNS server

    Also check

    dig NS @server $domain

    Is your server in the answer section?

      Yes, everything looks right. I moved dhcp resolution from the router to technitium recently, but hadn’t set up local resolution.

      I’m currently thinking the router is the culprit. Here in the UK there are lots of forum posts complaining about the Virgin Media gear. Nothing specifically describes my problem but I’m going to try a new router over the weekend.
