DNS Issue
Hello,
First a question whether the forums at the old Cloudstack.org website could be resurrected? They contained a lot of useful information!
Secondly - each of my virtual routers can now seem to only resolve the DNS entries for the hosts it acts as a DHCP server - I want them to be able to resolve DNS for all VMs in the system.
Network.dns.basiczone.updates is set to all, but these are advanced zones anyway.
How do I do this please?
Thanks,
James

All of the content from cloudstack.org is still around. It's now at
buildacloud.org. So for the Citrix hosted forums, please see:

I've asked for clearance to release it - if I receive it I'll post an update.

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.

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.
