Would you describe the "as documented" behavior? It still seems wacky to me that resolved returns the DNS result the majority of the time but not all of the time. If the design intent is to use only mDNS for .local domains, it ought to ignore DNS entirely for those domains. Inconsistent behavior means that a configuration can test as correct, fail in the field, fail to replicate the failure, and frustrate isolation of the problem. I think that the earlier behavior makes a lot more sense and would prefer to return to it.
Are you able to replicate the issue? Given how closely the two possibly separate problems are related and their similar effects, I am inclined to wait on filing a second bug report on the server selection until it is clear that these are in fact separate issues. The fact that no other hosts on the network exhibit the problem (a highly symptomatic one since it breaks most services) suggests that this is not an issue of both internal servers failing at the same time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2007728 Title: resolved results differ from those from its current upstream server. Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On a network with multiple DNS servers provided by DHCP, only the first two of which cover local names, resolved returns universally known names but fails to return the special names even when the "Current DNS Server" shown by `resolvectl status` returns the special names. Suppose that 172.16.9.5 and 172.16.10.5 are the two internal DNS servers with the local names. Windows servers with Active Directory enabled in this case. The DHCP server (a Cisco 4451 in this case) provides DNS servers 172.16.9.5, 172.16.10.5, 192.168.0.1, and 8.8.8.8. `resolvectl status` shows all of these as "DNS Servers" and 172.16.9.5 as the "Current DNS Server". `host localdomain.local` returns SRVFAIL, and `host localdomain.local 127.0.0.53` returns SRVFAIL, but `host localdomain.local 172.16.9.5` returns the correct result. This all happens regardless of the "Current DNS Server". Sometimes the "Current DNS Server" switches to 8.8.8.8 for reasons that are not clear even when the other servers are working properly, which seems to violate the principle of RFC 2132 section 3.8 that servers are listed in order of preference. So, in short, it seems that the correct behavior is that (1) resolved returns results consistent with its "Current DNS Server" and (2) resolved picks as its "Current DNS Server" the first reachable server in the list. The current behavior is that (1) resolved returns results sometimes inconsistent with its "Current DNS Server" and (2) resolved sometimes picks as its "Current DNS Server" some server other than the first reachable server in the list. The first issue is consistently reproducible, and the second is readily reproducible in a short period of time. The problem appears on Ubuntu 22.04 and seems not to be present on Ubuntu 18.04.
