[Openstack-operators] [neutron] Instances on private net can't resolve, no DNS

Hi Chris,


It shouldn't be as complex as that. DNS nameservers are pushed to instances via DHCP, and those name servers are set during subnet creation. You can also do a 'neutron subnet-update' to update an existing subnet.


Syntax:

neutron subnet-update <subnet> --dns-nameservers <dns1> <dns2>

?

That would be used to update the subnet your instances attach to and not the external subnet attached to the router. Hope that helps.


James

Hello all;

Well, more pulling of teeth it seems before I actually get to USE my self-installed OpenStack Liberty.  :-)

All networks seem to work just fine.  Can ping everything from private network.  You would think DNS would work, but it doesn't    This I think has something to do with dnsmasq.

I've read a few web pages.   Set dnsmasq_dns_servers in dhcp_agent.ini to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 (Google DNS).   Also set the private subnet to those.   Nada.

>From within an instance on the Private network, telnet 8.8.8.8 53 "no route to host".... but it PINGS!   Hmmm.

So help me unravel more of this genome known as OpenStack.  Why if private instances can reach the internet, doens't DNS work????

Just patched Neutron to fix the previous bug.  I think I have the latest.

Thanks
-Chris
