Multiple DNS Servers

[Dooley]

I'm trying to use 2 DNS servers on ubuntu for 2 wildcard urls.

example_a.dev and example_b.dev

example_a.dev is my local machine(with bind9) and example_b.dev is a remote dns machine(running ubuntu with bind9).

I've configured my resolve.conf like this.

search example_a.dev
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search example_b.dev
nameserver 192.168.1.2

But example_b.dev is never resolving.

I also tried using a forwarder in /etc/bind/named.conf.options

forwarders {
192.168.1.2;
};

But again example_b.dev never gets resolved. Without the example_a config settings example_b works fine.

Have you tried somehting like this instead :

search example_a.dev example_b.dev
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.2

I beleive this is the correct way to do it. Reboot the computer afterward, verify that the entries have not changed and retry your tests.

Tell me if it helps.

It's a bit flaky but that appears to have solved it.

Many thanks!
