DNS and multiple Guest Networks.

[Jeronimo Garcia <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hey List.

I've got the following problem:

Currently i have 5 guest networks and several VMs across them.

My problem is that when i set DNS forward on my main DNS server i get hit
and misses depending the DNS server i hit for instance:


mydomain.com  -> 10.0.1.31 , 10.0.2.31 , both of this are virtual routers
with DNS running on them.

Each of them will answer about VMs they know about ... which make the dns
forward a bit of a gamble ... cause i will get empty answers and real ones
depending the server i hit.

Is there a solution for this yet?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot ... it's hard cause  we will get a lot of empty answers when
we query a given host ... maybe there's a BIND feature for this ... but is
unlikely

Ideally there should be a 'master' DNS server that can answer everything.
However, each DNS server comes with its own "api", so CloudStack has been
unwilling to commit to serve any one DNS implementation. Not that it
shouldn't, but it hasn't.

Everybody has their favorite DNS - Windows, Infoblox, BIND, etc.
