https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13470 --- Comment #3 from Aurélien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxxx> --- Regarding 1) You can put multiple nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf but that might not have the effect you want. If you have 2 nameserver A and B, it will try to resolve by contacting A first. But if A is *up* and replies that the the domain cannot be found it will stop there. The nameserver B will only be tried if A is down, not if A replies "doesn't exist". What I would suggest you do is setup dnsmasq. It's a tiny dns server proxy daemon. You can tell it to forward all domain request for epam.com and any subdomain (e.g. a.epam.com, a.b.c.epam.com etc) to nameserver A, and forward all the other request to nameserver B. To use it, install dnsmasq, and put this in the config file (usually /etc/dnsmasq.conf) # forward *.epam.com requests to 10.0.0.1 server=/epam.com/10.0.0.1 # forward the rest to 8.8.8.8 server=/#/8.8.8.8 You will also need to set your system dns server to point to the local dnsmasq. This can be done by putting 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf (and only one). There might be cleaner ways to do this depending on your distro as resolv.conf might be overwritten by the system each time you connect to some Wifi network for example. ---- Alternatively, if setting up dnsmasq is too much and you don't mind hardcoding the IP of each host used in the DFS namespace, you can simply list them in /etc/hosts Regarding 2) It should be possible to mount the dfs root yes. Once you have DNS working it should all be ok, assuming your kernel is recent enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
