Hi I have network at a school setup with
- pfsense as firewall, router, dhcp and captive portal (for wifi), domain: schoolname.intranet
- zentyal: freeradius, ldap, dc, and dns
problem:
clients can't resolve hostnames into ip address, I tried and hostname.schoolname.intranet but neither work.
Business need:
I wanted to be able to use the hostname in veyon so I can have a master computer (teacher's) being able to see other computers on the network and manage them from that master computer, I wanted to do this using the hostname as opposed to the ip address.
some details
- there are two networks: 10.20.20.x (wired, pfsense: .1, zentyal: .24 ) and 10.30.30.x (wireless)
- client internet connectivity and dns external resolution works fine
- dns server issued through dhcp for dhcp clients is 10.20.20.24 (zentyal server)
- dns forwarder is enabled in pfsense
- zentyal'dns has a forwarder: .1 (pfsense)
if I do dig <hostname> @<pfsense or zentyal ip>
it resolves fine
but if I do dig <hostname>
I get no resolution
here's sample of a hostname: clementesepxx
fcortxx@benedictoxx:~$ dig clementesepxx
; <<>> DiG 9.16.1-Ubuntu <<>> clementesepxx

here's the ping command for same hostname from the same client
fcortxx@benedictoxx:~$ ping clementeseptimol
ping: clementesepxx: Temporary failure in name resolution
fcortxx@benedictoxx:~$ ping clementeseptimol.schoolname.intranet
ping: clementesepxx.schoolname.intranet: Name or service not known
fcortxx@benedictoxx:~$
any guidance or help is appreciate it.
