[Bug 327362] Re: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
It seems not "fixed", but rather broken again in Ubuntu 20.04. My ISP DNS servers respond to all ".local" queries with "127.0.0.200", and mDNS just doesn't work in this case. Setting AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0 does not help. This is regression from 18.04 where mDNS worked fine with default settings.

As I found this bug accidentally after years, just small remark: a) The firm I work for keeps naming hosts in internal network «name».ourfirm.local. Those addresses are omnipresent (from network config to myriads of development/test/staging/whatever environments and config files), so advice to abandon them is unlikely to be considered. Ah, and we started our naming convention in 1997 or so. Zeroconf was born in 2002 on Mac, appeared on Linuxes around 2007-2010, and was RFCed in 2013 :-P b) Still, this simply means that our „linux installation checklist” contains request to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] Having said that, I still have no clue why avahi couldn't restrict itself to non-dns-resolvable addresses and leave those resolvable to DNS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327362 Title: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/327362/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a response I got from my ISP. I think it's relevant. According to the RFC 6762 (chapter 22, IANA considerations) the top level domain .local should be handled as being Special-Use Domain Names, which the RFC 6761 states the caching DNS servers SHOULD generate immediate (positive or negative) responses for all queries. Basicly, one should not query any .local. names. But as many users do this, ISPs like us must protect root name servers from these bogus queries.

[Bug 327362] Re: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
The original issue was, roughly, that Avahi daemon disables itself when an ISP has a .local TLD. I take it that this is not a bug but a feature. So perhaps this report should be marked wontfix? A desire was also expressed that the Avahi daemon handle this situation better, as described for example in my previous comment (#60). I have filed a new bug report (bug #1167352) requesting that the improved behavior be implemented. Another alleged issue is that the current test for .local has false positives: Exterminans claimed this in comment #46. However, his suggested alternative for line 58 looks the same to me as the original line 58 so I don't know what he means. Exterminans: Can you please open a *new* bug report with a fuller explanation of this false-positive bug? The current test for .local also suffers from false negatives.

Re: [Bug 327362] Re: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
Marcus, I think OS X way of handling the situation is better. There are some reasons for that. I called some months ago to North-West Telecom(one of the biggest internet providers in Saint Petersburg). Customer support engineer said that they could remove the DNS zone only for artificial persons. So the company protects own profit preventing use of Active Directory for contracts with natural persons, because price for artificial persons is higher usually. I said him(or her, I didn't remember who it was) that the zone hindered for Ubuntu and Mac OS users, but him(her) had nothing to say me. And the second advantage for OS X way is current situation with torrent trackers. There are lots of providers that introduced retracker.local domain with incorrect DNS server settings. They set up whole .local zone instead of only retracker.local.

For information, this is how Mac OS X handles the situation; From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20999?viewlocale=en_US Note: If you have set up a private DNS server that resolves names in the .local domain, computers using Mac OS X 10.2 will not use the DNS server to resolve these names. This may result in unexpected failures to connect to hostnames defined by your server. You should use a different domain, such as .home, .office, or .lan for DNS on private networks.

For my ISP LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. does return Host local. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN). But still I get the avahi complaint. Figured out that before my ADSL router (a simple home device, Thomson speedtouch 536) established connection to the ISP, the query returns local has address 198.18.1.2. This address is reserved for testing in RFC 2544. Perhaps the router developers would argue it's the avahi script that should recognize it's not a legal IP address. In any case, whichever way the avahi script tests, the DNS server radically changes a little later. I guess the whole network service should wait until the router is really ready.

I think we are talking about two different bugs: In some networks there is actually a .local-domain defined, but there are also a lot of false positives!

I have this avahi problem as well. I live in Mexico and do not use any .local domain (I don't even connect to other computers, just to the router).

[Bug 327362] Re: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
I have this bug in Ubuntu 9.10. I believe it is somehow related to network-manager, and this is why: I installed Ubuntu Minimal with gdm, but instead of installing network-manager, I installed wicd. and avahi worked great! but then I needed to set up broadband connection, and since wicd doesn't have the option, I replaced it with network-manager. and at this very point avahi stopped working with the message about .local. getting back to wicd did not solve the problem. so the thing must be in some config files that are being altered during a network-manager installation. -- Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The fix may have been released but it still hasn't solved the problem. Both my Karmic machines are still giving the .local error. I have 2 choices: the first is use OpenDNS settings in my router and then I don't have access to my networked drives via Samba. OR Don't use OpenDNS, have a domain name in my router (which does not seem to make a difference), access my networked drives and then not be able to use my HP MFD which is also on the network. Neither of these is ideal! Any suggestions on how I can sort this out to get both bits working at the same time?

[Bug 327362] Re: Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon
Just tested on live-CD that it's not fixed on karmic. On karmic, /etc/default/avahi-daemon isn't simply created anymore, making it actually more difficult to workaround this problem. But the /var/run /avahi-daemon/disabled-for-unicast-local is still being created and Avahi is disabled.
