VM Networking and dnsmasq
« on: June 29, 2014, 09:08:09 pm »
I've got a Arch DNS server(dnsmasq) and it runs a couple of VMs. These VMs are configured for bridged networking so they all how their own IP on the subnet. One machine in particular, a WinXP machine, I am trying to configure to use the host server as it's main DNS. I set it up to do so but when I try nslookup it consistently uses the secondary DNS server with an error:
Code: [Select]
Can't find server name for 192.168.0.7: Non-existent domain
I can ping 192.168.0.7 from XP and everything, but it won't use it as it's server. Is this a problem with VM networking?

Sounds like there is no PTR record for the name server.

It's been solved, but unfortunately I can't exactly explain why. It's just a mystery of Windows..
