RUTX50 - DNS forwarding

Hi,

I am using a RUTX50 router in my camper. To connect to my homelab I am using Zerotier. In my homelab I have a Zerotier bridge.

Please see this picture for an network overview:

On IP level the connection is working fine. From the camper I can access any IP within 10.0.0.0/8.

In my homelab I am using the domain kletzin.de with several subdomains for the different services. To access these services with FQDN I would like to use my DNS Server to resolve *.kletzin.de FQDNs by using DNS Server 10.10.31.18. I tried two different methods:

Define DNS service in Zerotier:

When I use my mobile device it recognizes the DNS config within Zerotier, I can resolve against 10.10.31.18. From the RUTX50 it doesn’t work - even if I activate User DNS in Zerotier config.

Any idea why the RUTX50 doesn’t recognize the Zerotier DNS server?

Use DNS forwarding in RUTX50

In the RUTX I have configured the DNS forwarding. That doesn’t work.

Configuration to forward to DNS in my homelab:

Result in CLI:

root@KASTEN-ON-TOUR:~# nslookup grafana.kletzin.de
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
*** Can't find grafana.kletzin.de: No answer
*** Can't find grafana.kletzin.de: No answer

To check if the DNS resolution is working I tried to resolve explicitly against 10.10.31.18. That ist working:

root@KASTEN-ON-TOUR:~# nslookup grafana.kletzin.de 10.10.31.18
Server: 10.10.31.18
Address: 10.10.31.18#53
Name: grafana.kletzin.de
Address 1: 10.10.31.13

*** Can’t find grafana.kletzin.de: No answer

Any idea why the DNS forwarding is not working?

Thanks

Michael

Hello,

Could you show the Network->DNS->General Settings page ?

Yes, this is the “General Setting” page:
