      Hello,

      Is it possible to get DNS properly working on Filab cloud instance? I
      installed the instance from a CEP image. It seems the normal DNS checks all
      return errors in my case.

      $ host 130.206.118.112
      Host 112.118.206.130.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
      $ nslookup 130.206.118.112
      Server: 8.8.8.8
      Address: 8.8.8.8#53

      • server can't find 112.118.206.130.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN

      $ dig x 130.206.118.112
      ; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.10.rc1.el6_3.5 <<>> -x 130.206.118.112

      The /etc/hosts/ -file seemed to have some HTML page not found -errors in
      it, which would point to the installation could not properly set up all
      hosts for the cluster? Could you please provide hot the hosts-file should
      look after proper installation of CentOS instanse in Filab. Here is the
      hosts-file after I removed the access HTML. Unfortunately I do not have the
      errors anymore, but they seemed like normal response you get when trying to
      wget or curl into a server that cannot be connected.

      127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
      ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
      10.0.6.48 newcep.novalocal
      192.168.251.33 eventmore-cep.novalocal

      Thanks for your help!

          I do not understand very well your problem. You have instantiated a server in which you have configured a DNS service and you have problem with it and you are asking to resolve those problems or to know if it is possible to have it?

          It is correct?

          Dear Fernando,
          following the update from the accelerator

          *********************************
          Basically the problem was that DNS lookups and reverse-lookups were not working inside the instance created from the cep-r3.3.3-img image. He suspected that it might have something to do with some weird entries that he found in the /etc/hosts file, but even when he removed those entries DNS was still not working for him.

          So he is now working on AWS and this doesn't seem to be a blocker for him, but it's something that other Filab users might encounter when deploying this image, so maybe it would be worth investigating a bit prior to closing the ticket?

          Even when he removed the errors from the file /etc/hosts, DNS still didn't work properly. Hence he wanted to ask if you have some kind of default settings I could copy into my hosts-file? If you want to test, please install a new instance from cep-r3.3.3-img image and test if 'host' and 'nslookup' return proper answers. If all works properly then perhaps there was some network errors while I was installing my instance and everything did not setup properly.

          For now he installed the necessary software to Amazon AWS server, where DNS is not a problem and software works properly.

          It is not possible to install a DNS instance inside a server due to it will produce IP collisions with external DNS instances and network communication failures in general.
