Hi Rafael, Good day to you, and thank you for your reply.
1. Yes, the guest VMs can reach the VR. Able to ping. 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=2.00 ms 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.291 ms 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=0.384 ms ^C --- X.X.X.2 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 4999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.270/0.603/2.006/0.628 ms 2. Yes, the VMs are really configured to use VR as the DNS server, according to /etc/resolv.conf, together with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 /etc/resolv.conf on guest VMs: === # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver X.X.X.2 (the VR's IP) nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 search cs1cloud.internal === 3. Yes, if I remove or comment out the first nameserver entry for the VR's IP, and only leaving 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, guest VMs will be running fine and will be able to resolve domains properly. 4. May I know how to enable the dnsmasq debug? Any documentation / steps on how to do it? I believe I have to do it on the VR itself? Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers.
