Hi all, After digging up more information, I come to the conclusion that my ISP uses 1 wrong DNS server, which is not authorized to do recursive queries. Setting the DNS servers manually did always solve the problem, I just did not fully understand the problem. Now comes the bigger problem, convincing the ISP to remove that server from their config.......... For the interested, here the text I found: Q: Dnsmasq sometimes logs "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx refused to do a recursive query" and DNS stops working. What's going on? A: Probably the nameserver is an authoritative nameserver for a particular domain, but is not configured to answer general DNS queries for an arbitrary domain. It is not suitable for use by dnsmasq as an upstream server and should be removed from the configuration. Note that if you have more than one upstream nameserver configured dnsmasq will load-balance across them and it may be some time before dnsmasq gets around to using a particular nameserver. This means that a particular configuration may work for sometime with a broken upstream nameserver configuration. Harbert Hi all, I use here m0n0wall with on the WAN site a cable connection, using DHCP. Since the 1st time I installed m0n0wall I have the problem that after a 5-10 mins the connection stops. The problem lays in the DNS forwarder, if I configure the DNS servers, who I get via DHCP manually, then I do not have any problem. Since dnsmaq was updated I thought to give it a try again, but unfortunatly without result. I am getting 3 DNS servers via DHCP, one is giving the faults causing my problem: Jul 10 17:12:55 last message repeated 2 times Jul 10 17:12:20 dnsmasq[338]: reading /var/db/dhcpd.leases Jul 10 17:09:54 dnsmasq[338]: nameserver 200.19.74.21 refused to do a recursive query Jul 10 17:09:54 dnsmasq[338]: nameserver 200.19.74.21 refused to do a recursive query Jul 10 17:05:20 dnsmasq[338]: reading /var/db/dhcpd.leases After the last msj (17:12:55) DNS forwarding stops and nothing can be resolved anymore. The server mentioned is the 3rd from the provider, others AND a manually assigned DNS servers are not giving any trouble. Is there a way to go around this and still use DNS forwarding but let the faulty server out? Advise highly appreciated!! :o) Harbert |
