DNS can't resolve gmail.com but can resolve everything else?
I have a really weird problem with my DNS server. I have set up a DNS server on my network to handle the local network zones and it works a treat. I set this up a few years ago and never noticed any problems with it. The DNS will also resolve internet addresses quite happily just as you would expect it to. Recently, I have found that one address that it won’t resolve and that is gmail.com. I noticed this because emails going to gmail users were failing due a CNAME lookup failure. I tried to access the gmail site as well as perform a dig on gmail but to no avail! In all cases dig fails with “connection timed out; no servers could be reached”. However, performing a dig on any other site, and I get full name resolution. Similarly web surfing to any site is just fine but not www.gmail.com. I have tried to set the line in named.conf to “forward first” in order to get the external DNS to perform the resolution – same result. I have tried “dig @IP.for.external.dns.server gmail.google.com” which should perform the resolution with the designated external DNS server but again connection timed out….
Any ideas? Any at all? My Kit: SuSE 9.1 Pro Bind 9.2.3 Router DLink 704P I’ve included the contents of my named.conf file in case that helps: options { directory "/var/lib/named"; dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats"; forwarders { DNS.server.ip.1; DNS.server.ip.2; }; forward first; listen-on port 53 { 192.168.1.2; 127.0.0.1; }; listen-on-v6 { any; }; allow-query { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1/24; }; notify no; }; |
