Request: Please create an option in DHCP where the m0n0wall domain will NOT be passed via DHCP to the DNS suffix search list or the connection-specific DNS Suffix. Background: I had a client who was experiencing DNS lookup problems on some of their windows systems. The ones that worked had fixed IP addresses, the ones that didn't used DHCP. Using ipconfig /all I discovered that the DHCP systems had the domain name assigned to the m0n0wall server in the DNS suffix search list and connection-specific DNS Suffix fields while the fixed IP machines did not. When an nslookup was run the DHCP machines would append domain.tld to each query and return an answer, the same answer, to any DNS query. The Problem: They recently moved their web hosting (and DNS) from in-house to a hosting company. That company has a wild card in their dns. (*.domain.tld) and that wild card was matching the lookups because the suffix was appended to each request. |
