Local DNS search domain issue

Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded my Macbook from Snow Leopard to Lion, and since then I have some trouble with my local network.
I work in a local network, so I have set up a local DNS and search domain to let me use local domain like google.com.in
Everything worked fine in Snow Leopard but with Lion I cannot reach anymore all the *.in domains, I only can reach simple domain like "myserver"
For the moment I've found a workaround by adding all my domains in the /etc/hosts file but it's a pity because I work with tons of domains.
Here it is my scutil --dns cmd :
resolver #1
search domain[0] : in.infoborn.com
nameserver[0] : 10.64.99.240
nameserver[1] : 8.8.8.8

Thanks guys.

I have simplified my wpd.dat and im still having the same issue .. updates .dat below:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".vcnynt.com")) &&
!localHostOrDomainIs(host, "vnet.vcnynt.com") &&
!localHostOrDoaminIs(host, ".vcnynt.com"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY 10.17.2.13:3128";

Configure DNS & Search Domains in TCP/IP Settings via Terminal?

HI Folks,
I've been having a long standing battle trying to find out what is wrong with my machine, it's been running like a dog for a while and having recently added 2 new Macs to our network i recall that there was a setting missing - namely within the TCP/IP settings for the Built In Ethernet, the DNS Servers and Search Domains are not configured on my machine, but are on the new ones i've added (mine was my new foray into Macs so i maybe set it up wrong!)
However the main problem occurs when i try to edit the settings for the above from within System Preferences -> Network, i get a spinning beach ball of doom and have to Force Quit. Yet oddly i can access the setting fine when i am at home and not connected to the AD of the Windows Server Environment... which makes me think the events could be linked.... i thought it may have been Parallels and it's NAT settings, but given that all works perfectly at home i'm not so sure. Hence, as a process of elimination i'd like to try and get the correct settings for Search Domain etc to see if it helps, before i flatten the machine and reinstall Tiger completely!
The main issues i've been having with the machine can be found here:

Hi Phil (and others!)
I opted for the easy choice, which did work... and have added the Search Domain info etc whilst at home... and touch wood today things seem to be working better, i can easily access network preferences etc and have had no hanging apps as yet...
I did try and use different locations for work and home, but sadly i ended up with a spinning beach ball of doom when i tried to change the location at work, so it was a slightly pointless exercise!!!

DNS name resolution ignores search domains ??

I have a DNS search domain specified in network prefs for ethernet (and a domain picked up from DHCP). But these appears to be ignored both in apps and on the command line. I find I have to type the fqdn which is a pain.
Looking at /etc/resolv.conf I see 'domain' but no search entries. UNIX docs suggest that domain should allow 'short names' maunally adding explicit search records to /etc/resolve.conf seems to work despite the warning that nothing uses resolve.conf any more. (as on most modern UNIX systems).
Anyone know what is going on? It is a worry that search domains specified in preferences => networks appear to be ignored. It is also a worry that adding config to a supposedly unused file fixes the problem (well at least until it gets overwritten with the next dhcp refresh).

Hi,
How about the status of the problem now?
DNS request timed out is mainly caused by losing of Network Connectivity, detailed information you may reference the link below(session
7. Loss of Network Connectivity):
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb962024.aspx
If the problem still exits, try command line nslookup /set d2
to turn exhaustive Debugging Mode on(all fields of every packet are printed). And post the result here.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that tool SIEM prompts multiple DNS error NO SUCH NAME for Local IP.
I am wondering which SIEM tool have you used. If it is a 3rd-party tool, I recommend you to contact the vendor/supporter for detailed information about this error.
I am not sure about the environment you have configured and which version of OS used. In general, for windows system, we may use built-in tool, such as event viewer, performance monitor to collect detailed information about error or warning. Besides, monitor
tool such as Network Monitor(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4865) is also helpful to capture packets for further troubleshooting.

Apparently the router is not sending the info to the iphone. How can I make that happen?

DNS problem: search domain Ian

Hi,
I had some spyware on my computer but removed it with Macscan. However, I still find the name 'Ian' in my system preferences under Network 'Search Domains'. I can't remove it. Is my Mac infected once more?

Do you use bit-torrent or limewire or that stuff? If so, no telling who was in your computer or what they did. If you run the computer as an administrator, it only makes things worse.
With most malware, you have to invite it into your computer.
Your best bet is to completely reinstall without migrating anything and hope that nothing much was copied from your computer.

Problems resolving .local DNS names

Hi all - I was having problems resolving machine.local type names, and I found this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107800
This solution helped, but not completely.
I am on a Mac mini running 10.4.8PPC.
This unit is on a private IP network - 192.168.254.0/255.255.255.0
This unit is staticly addressed - 192.168.254.31
The network has a Windows Server 2003 machine doing DNS/DHCP
The network has a domain of mynetwork.local
I was experiencing the issue in this article:
dig server.mynetwork.local would complete and resolve to 192.168.254.11
ping server.mynetwork.local would fail to resolve.
Adding local to the search domain solved this issue as described in the article.
However, a new wrinkle arises.
I frequently connect to other networks via PPTP, many running SBS 2003, which uses a company.local DNS scheme.
Once connected, I can dig company.local names, but not mynetwork.local names (which I expected - as I am now resolving names through server.company.local). However, I can't ping company.local names, which prevents connection to the server.company.local OWA server, for example.
Any thoughts? I tried putting
mynetwork.local, company.local
in the search domains field, but no joy...
Thanks for wading through this long question - appreciate any replies...

Playing Dr. Watson here...
Are those other Networks Local but not on the 192.168.254.x subnet?

Clients fail to resolve local DNS names, external names working fine

Hi there,
I've a strange issue with a couple of domain joined computers. Resolving internal and external host names works fine with nslookup. But clients loose AD connectivity because they can't resolve host names from the local DNS zones outside of nslookup.
Pinging IP addresses always works.
So far only notebook computers are affected. Desktop computers work fine. OS is Windows 7/8/8.1 for clients and Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 for AD DCs/DNS servers.
Example:
C:\>nslookup bl-sphv00
Server: bl-spdc01.bl.local
Address: 192.168.154.21
Name: bl-sphv00.bl.local
Address: 192.168.154.10
C:\>ping bl-sphv00
Ping request could not find host bl-sphv00. Please check the name and try again.
C:\>ping bl-sphv00.bl.local
Ping request could not find host bl-sphv00.bl.local. Please check the name and t
ry again.
C:\>ping 192.168.154.10
Pinging 192.168.154.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=52ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=51ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=52ms TTL=128
Any help appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
a Microsoft support guy send me a solution earlier posted under

To get the client work again you just have to delete a few registry keys set by DirectAccess GPOs using this little batch:
@echo off
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient\DnsPolicyConfig" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator\CorporateConnectivity" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Tcpip" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityAssistant\DTEs" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityAssistant\Probes" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters" /v SMB1NATCompatibilityLevel /f
Unfortunately this breaks the clients DirectAccess configuration and leaves me without a real solution. Found some hints here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tomshinder/archive/2010/03/13/uag-directaccess-group-policy-assignment-make-sure-the-right-policies-are-applied.aspx
So my question is now: How do i have to edit the wizard generated DirectAccess GPOs correctly?
Anyone any idea?

My e4200 as a local dns server

Hi,
i'm trying to find out whether my e4200 has the possibility to be a local DNS server and if so, how I can configure it. As it is right out of the box, i cant ping any of my local machines on DNS.
Any ideas?
thanks!

If you are using windows pc's
this will for the most part take of the local name resolution issues
there are a few exceptions, which are mostly related to web browsers
in that IE, Firefox, and others all deal with name resolution a little differently
some need http://localclientname to work
while others will will work with just the localclientname
and the chaos of that is different amongst different versions of browsers
but as far as local name resolution goes, the following works well
On the router config page under the Setup tab for basic setup
Internet Setup has a setting for domain name
Domain Name: local
DHCP Server Setting has a setting for static dns servers
Static DNS 1: 192.100.1.1
doing the above will put all of the local dhcp clients in the .local dns zone
that the windows world can deal with for local name resolution
as far as other devices etc, its hit miss, but this does work me very well
I can even get name resolution to my network printer via web browser or via an os explorer ping etc.

No more search domain

I have a BMAS radius authenticating users to a Cisco PIX firewall forInternet access. This process works fine for short periods of time
and then
users begin reporting that they have to try logging in several times
before
they are authenticated. The radius debug screen on the server will at
this
point be denying somewhere around half of the requests it receives
with the
error (access rejected <username> no more search domain). If I unload
and
reload radius.nlm, the problem goes away for a period of time.
Any Ideas

I can see from the debug log that RADIUS is receiving a -601 error (user not
found) while attempting to locate the user in eDirectory. This appears to be
an eDirectory problem, rather than a RADIUS problem. The -601 is being
returned to RADIUS from an eDirectory call.
You might have a problem with one or more of the replica servers in your
environment. Try running DSRepair. If that does not fix your problem, then
you will probably have better luck asking in a forum that deals specifically
with eDirectory issues.

DNS client service issue

I’ve got a DNS client service issue:
I have a webserver in my local Domain, which is accessible locally only.
One client machine with Windows Server 2012 sometimes cannot access the websites situated on this local webserver. Its event viewer does not contain any issues. The machine can still access the internet. The thing I need to do then, is to restart the DNS client
service on this Windows Server client. After that these local websites are reachable again. The DNS Server is installed on the DC.
What approach could I follow to solve this issue?
Patrick

Are you using the fqdn (host.domain.tld), a single label name or a custom dns name?
If you use the single label name, dns name resolution depends on the suffixes, make sure these are configured.
If the issue occurs, you could use nslookup to check if the communication with all configured dns servers is working and the required records are there.
Use ping to check if the correct ip with FQDN is returned. No FQDN implies netbios was used for name resolution - no good -> check the dns configuration
If you use a custom dns name, check what IP it resolves (ping/nslookup); is it a server local IP? If not, check if the issue resolves by putting the dns alias in the hostsfile with a local ip (or 127.0.0.1 if the bindings for your site allow)
The issue might also be solely related to the dns cache maintained by the service. You could check if ipconfig /flushdns resolves the issue to confirm. Their is not much configuration or debugging info available on this, but issues I've seen all boil down
to dns servers not being corretcly configured on the client's ip settings.
You could enable the DNS Client Events operational log (eventviewer->applications and services logs\Microsoft\Windows to maybe get more info on the issue.

Follow up - DNS (internal domain has same name as external website)

Hi,
I am following up with on previous blog entry about resolving an domain internal name to an external website found here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4d97325b-ff3a-4f46-ba6e-dc3f4ff978e1/dns-internal-domain-has-same-name-as-external-website
On October 30, 2014
HayashiTech provided a response suggesting the use of netsh interface portproxy on the DC's to resolve this issue. There has been no feedback to this suggestion and I am very curious what opinions are out there for this suggestion as it appears to be the
best option provided yet.
Thank you in advance as well for all the great guidance I have found provided by Ace and his followers.

Interesting question. I've not seen that solution before, but having done a test on my lab setup it certainly seems to work as expected. Eg, using :
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=dc1.abc.com connectport=80 connectaddress=www.abc.com
on my DC where I've setup a working external domain name with the www record pointing to the website, and the non-www record pointing to the DC, requests to the non-www address are successfully being redirected to the www address (after confirming it didn't
happen prior to adding the portproxy).
So on the face of it that does look like a workable solution. I haven't used it myself in anger obviously, but the two downsides I can think of immediately to this solution are :
1) This operates as a proxy, so unlike the IIS method that Ace mentioned where it would tell the client to go to the www address instead (so the client connects direct), this method keeps your DC acting as a middle man, eg all communications to that address
go through your DC rather than direct from the client to the website. Depending on what they're doing on the website this may or may not be an issue for you.
2) Since the client is continuing to connect to the DC throughout, if you ever did need the have something on the DC responding to port 80 then you could have issues. That said, according to
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731068(v=ws.10).aspx the portproxy listenaddress can be a FQDN rather than IP, so that could mitigate any issues there.

Making use of local DNS for home network

I have an Apple Base Station and I wish to set up better local services on my home network, starting with local DNS. I see that the ABS will attempt to apply the <name>.local handle for devices but this seems inconsistent. What defines whether a host/file-server/printer/etc... will get a name and how is is defined? For windows machines, do I need Bonjour installed for this to work or will it take info from WINS or NETBIOS? For machines with DHCP addresses is there a way to set up some sort of dynamic DNS or bind a name to the devices MAC address?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The actual Home highway box (with the telephone sockets and blue cat 5 sockets on the front) I would suggest you just throw in the bin.
You would also have had a special front plate installed that plugs into the BT owned NTE5.
Not sure what you had in mind, do you want to have a new line provided or shift your existing line over to the old socket?

Set up a proper live and local DNS behind a router

Hello dear friends,
I'm new to Snow Leopard Server and also i'm quite inexperienced in setting up DNS. We bought a Mac Pro for out small company along with Snow Leopard Server to become independent from our ISP, for some specific services like web hosting, mail and to bring up new services like Address book server, iCal server, FTP, Mobile access etc...
So for me to do that i have to set up our own DNS first. We already bought our domain name (crisconsult.ro) and since then the site has been hosted on our ISP and then aliased to Apple. We also have our own (fix) public IP 80.86.123.116.
Having installed SL Server and set-up, behind an Airport extreme router, the server was unable to pick up our name server which is ns.crisconsult.ro. Since the router is the first in the network, the server became second with a local IP 10.0.1.2. This is the same IP that the server automatically set up for DNS, BUT if i keep this ip on our name server (ns) i feel it's not good since:
host ns.crisconsult.ro returns
ns.crisconsult.ro has address 10.0.1.2
and host 80.86.123.116 returns
116.123.86.80.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ns.crisconsult.ro.
As i understand there should be our public IP (80.86.123.116), BUT all the tutorials on the net regarding setting up DNS in Leopard Server point that at DNS one should put the machine's own local IP and have the machine look at itself as DNS in network settings.
So? Is there a local DNS and a public DNS to set up? What gives?
I could really appreciate some help in configuring DNS, along to some good and real examples of DNS servers configured behind a router.
Thanks,
Andrei

Andrei,
I too, would love nothing more than to be able to use DNS on my 10.4, 10.5 & 10.6 servers. Unfortunately, the only way I have found to effectively wield a somewhat complete level of control over the bind DNS included with the server, is to abandon all usage of the Server Admin DNS control in favor of something like webmin. The good news is, webmin gives you a host of other features that I (sadly) don't expect to see within the Apple Server GUI any time soon.
Bad news, is that the 'best practice' way of setting up a stable, functional DNS on a Mac Server seems to be: clean install, webmin install, and never, ever use the apple DNS interface. Similar rule applies to web server.
I like to think the measure of a good admin is the ability to fix the problem(s) without having to reinstall completely. However, I can say from much experience and extensive googling, that what you are trying to do is a game of hopscotch in a minefield. You should be VERY familiar with the installation and setup process once you have your box configured the way you want it.
Hopefully one day Apple will decide to take the bull by the horns and address teh fact that DNS is an integral part of a sever set up these days and provide us users with some of that Apple think-outside-the-box-so-you-dont-have-to product that they have been so well known for. I can't say whether they're in too much of a hurry deploying video iPods or super-duper mice that the server product that you and I would love to see work efectively simply doesn't.
Sorry to get on a rant, I just want to save you some time that I lost figgerin' on this vexing enigma. I can use citations for my assertions if need be.
