FWIW on my laptop (16.10) DNS queries are working as I wish it (ie
"correctly"). With VPN disconnected all queries are going to the home router
(192.168.33.1), queries for eg amachine.csl are sent there and come back
NXDOMAIN.
With VPN connected, queries on .csl are going to the remote VPN server (as
requested for this domain suffix by the VPN server: no configuration on my
local machine here). Queries for anything else go to home router.
So dnsmasq logs this:
Nov 24 15:18:24 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: query[A] amachine.csl from 127.0.0.1
Nov 24 15:18:24 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: forwarded amachine.csl to 192.168.68.1
Nov 24 15:18:24 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: reply amachine.csl is 192.168.68.44
HOWEVER, after disconnecting and then reconnecting VPN, despite dnsmasq having
noted this during the VPN connection set up:
Nov 24 15:24:51 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: using nameserver
192.168.68.1#53 for domain csl
Now a request for say www.bbc.co.uk correctly goes through the home
router:
Nov 24 15:30:05 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: query[A] www.bbc.co.uk from 127.0.0.1
Nov 24 15:30:05 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: forwarded www.bbc.co.uk to 192.168.33.1
Nov 24 15:30:05 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: reply www.bbc.co.uk is <CNAME>
Nov 24 15:30:05 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: reply www.bbc.net.uk is 212.58.246.55
But a request for anothermachine.csl , only this is logged:
Nov 24 15:26:13 rukbat dnsmasq[6655]: query[A] anothermachine.csl
from 127.0.0.1
That's right, no "forwarded", no "reply" and the output of / dig
anothermachine.csl / has no answer:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;anothermachine.csl. IN A
;; Query time: 0 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1)
In other words, dnsmasq doesn't even try. Looks like a bug in dnsmasq
(or a bug in Network Manager not instructing dnsmasq correctly).
