Hi all,
I got something I can't wrap my head around. I have a QNAP NAS that I
thought would be nice for hosting a DNSMASQ service for DNS and DHCP. Setup
went smooth and all my Linux clients behave wonderfully, except my Mac
client:
Querying a host from Linux goes perfect:
-=[22:29:35][bernd@hoenir ~]=-
dig @qnap freyja
; <<>> DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.12-Ubuntu <<>> @qnap freyja
;; Got answer:

Now the same query from my Mac sees the host but still can't connect to it:
[bernd@loki ~$ dig @qnap freyja
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> @qnap freyja

[bernd@loki ~$ ping -c 1 freyja

Does anybody have an idea what I am missing?
Yes
DNS query tool `dig` at the Linux system does add domain name to the request.
`dig` at the MacOS system doesn't add a domain name, which is correct behaviour.
For `ping` is it OK to add a domainname. It seems the Mac is not aware
of domain name.
Find a way to tell the Mac about the .prager.homeip.net domain name.

macOS will know about the domain if it’s told by the DNS server via DHCP.
However, macOS will cache information and sometimes will need a forced reset to pick
things up. Using "dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder”
should reset the DNS cache on macOS.

Thank you all for your kind help. I wanted to give the list a quick update:
While I have not resolved the issue yet, despite trying all the
suggestions above (except Geert's ".5" comment which I need to do some
research on what that actually means), I have nailed the likely culprit
to the NordVPN I have running with my particular user. Pinging my other
Intranet-Hosts from any other user on my Mac without the VPN running
actually works. It seems that the VPN does something to my network
configuration that its not telling me. The Mac DNS utility still claims
to point to my DNSMASQ instance.
By the way, pinging my internal host with a full domain name
freyja.prager.homeip.net resolves to my DynDNS external network IP address.
Cheers,
-- Bernd
