Hi Guys,
I've still got an issue with Snapcentre whereby I have difficulty getting hosts added in when using DNS to resolve. I raised a case a while ago and they took all DNS settings off the box and just used the hosts file. Everything worked ok so they said it must be the DNS causing an issue and closed the case.
So I sat down and investigated as I couldn't see a problem with our DNS setup. It was pretty standard.
Eventually I figured out that it's down to CNAME's. If we have the example below
box1.back.domain.com
|
CNAME's to
|
box1.dev.domain.com
When I try and add "box1.dev.domain.com" into SC as a host it resolves initially but eventually tries to resolve
box.back.domain.com.back.domain.com
I've tried this on both a Windows AD box with DNS services and a Linux DNS system I'm pretty sure it's just SC that has an issue with CNAME's.
Now If I create a A record for box1.back.domain.com so it's straight to an IP from DNS then it works fine. Has anyone else run into this before I raise another case?
Cheers
Chris
