Hi there everyone,

I've just started setting up my first pdns master with mariadb backend
running on a RPi2 with DietPi (latest) installed. Pdns is running both as
authoritive aswell as recursive.

When I perform a nslookup to from client pc's (Windows 10) something
strange seems to happen.

The query results display the DNS server address as 127.0.0.53:53, which
should be 192.168.178.24.
Also when I query for example Google.com (but this happens with any query) it shows the IP addresses but also appends .fritz.box to my results. So
google.com becomes google.com.fritz.box.

Your fritzbox, via DHCP, has told your Windows that the search domain is fritz.box. However, since recently, there is an actual .box TLD (like .com and .net), and inside the .box TLD is a wildcard pointing to 127.0.53.53. For an explanation of why that is done, see https://icann.org/namecollision

The problem is that nslookup appears to be trying the name you type in under fritz.box -first- before trying without it. Adding a trailing dot to your query (so www.google.com. ) might help, but please be aware that nslookup is very buggy.

Kind regards,
