What can be blocking the DNS response going back to my server?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a server with a hosting company, but not sure where but it started failing on every DNS request.

I stopped iptables, I see that I can get response from the DNS when using tcp but not udp. What else can be blocking the response from DNS on default udp??


I've requested network team of the hoster to allow udp to my server from the specific DNS server's ip.


Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 66.96.80.194
nameserver 66.96.80.43


Code:

[root@armadaazteca ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination



Code:

[root@armadaazteca ~]# route -n

dig default using udp

Code:

[root@armadaazteca ~]# dig www.yahoo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5 <<>> www.yahoo.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

dig using tcp

Code:

[root@armadaazteca ~]# dig +tcp www.yahoo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5 <<>> +tcp www.yahoo.com

Hi,

You may try to reduce edns to 512 bytes and see if it helps
Code:

max-udp-size 512;
edns-udp-size 512;
