Thanks all for the replies. Just to let folks know that in the end I worked around this by writing a python script which polls the management server for a list of VMs and IPs, and dynamically updates any missing entries in our existing DNS servers. So far it's working well.

Infrastructure in this environment is open to debate... What I was hoping was that any one virtual router would just resolve any allocated IP for any network, but it doesn't seem to work that way. -----Original Message----- From: Chiradeep Vittal [mailto:chiradeep.vit...@citrix.com] Sent: 06 November 2012 18:42 To: CloudStack Users Subject: Re: DNS Issue Resolve DNS for the public IP or the guest IP? It really depends on your DNS infrastructure. Because of the dependency on the datacenter DNS infrastructure, CloudStack has shied away from an out-of-the-box solution. That's not to deny that it is a real problem. It should be solved, but there are several approaches, each of which is optimal for certain styles of DNS infrastructure.
