I’m pulling my hair out over this. I’ve got a proxmox homelab, an LXC running technitium installed from TTeck’s script.

The DNS server is also doing DHCP for my network. I have an authoritative zone for ‘.lan’

I can get NS, SOA, TXT records from the DNS server, but no A records! The DNS query logs show that it gives an answer, and if I am on the DNS server itself I get an answer, but no other machines on the network hear the reply.

I think this means the DNS server is working properly. There are no FWs in the way as I can resolve other types.

Where else can I look, or how can I diagnose this? I am completely at a loss.

    Thanks for giving it some thought!

    I have been testing using dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan

    3, 4, and 5 work for TXT, NS and SOA but doesn’t work for A records. I think this rules out a simple network issue?

      Just to be sure you do dig A @server $domain (with the “A”) and can confirm the following

      SERVER is your server

      ;; ANSWER SECTION is empty (or doesn’t exist)

      ;; AUTHORITY SECTION mentions your local DNS server

      Also check

      dig NS @server $domain

      Is your server in the answer section?
