Split DNS issue in 1.6.0 - resolved in 1.6.2
Got a problem with Viscosity or need help? Ask here!
Hi,
I am using Windows 10, I recently updated to Viscosity 1.6.0 (1415) and had the Split DNS feature enabled automatically. Previously my connection was using VPN DNS for all resolution, which worked.
Now the setup is like this:
DNS set to Split, Report Follows:
Server - 192.168.0.17:53; Lookup Type - Split; Domains - dev., trellian.com.
Server - 192.168.0.18:53; Lookup Type - Split; Domains - dev., trellian.com.
Server - 192.168.168.138:53; Lookup Type - Any; Domains - gateway.
Server - 192.168.168.138:53; Lookup Type - Any; Domains - gateway.
What I want is for everything ending in ".dev" and ".trellian.com" to be resolved with the VPN DNS, and all others to go to my local network DNS. What I'm seeing is the IP 127.0.53.53 returned for all domains ending with ".dev", such as http://www.test.com.brian.dev. Using nslookup to resolve directly against the VPN DNS gives the expected IP address.
trellian.com domains are working normally, no issues there. Just dev domains.
As a workaround I am using the "Full DNS" setting, and this works as before.
192.168.0/24 is on the other side of the VPN, and 192.168.168/24 is my home network.
Let me know what additional information you need.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi betherl,
Domains will only generally match with one extra octet. For example, if you have a domain of dev, only domains like example.dev will match. If you want something like www.test.com.brian.dev to match, you will need to set a domain of test.com.brian.dev.

I'd like to second Brian's request. We use many many subdomains at work dev.foo.net, pr.den.foo.net, pr.sjc.foo.net, staging.den.foo.net, etc. It's painful to enter them all, and I am sure to forget one until it doesn't work during a firefight.
Thanks!

Just to clarify before I change things, does this mean pushing domain.com will now have anything.domain.com (1), anything.anything.domain.com (2), anything.anything.anything.domain.com (3) and beyond use the VPN DNS servers in Split DNS mode?
Or is it still limited to one or two sub-domains?

Hi rps,
It is the former. Any number of subdomain labels will now match a domain.
