Adding external DNS servers

Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure features a built-in DNS server that enables discovery of all of its internal services. For resolving external domain names, you can add DNS servers that already exist in your network infrastructure.

Limitations

Specify a DNS server that belongs to a public network to be able to reach external locations like the updates repository, as well as any public networks.

To add external DNS servers

Admin panel

Go to Settings > System settings > Cluster DNS.
Click Add and select the IP address type:
- Select Static, and then specify a static DNS IP address.
- Select DHCP, and then select a DHCP-provided DNS IP address from the list.
Click Add multiple times to specify multiple external DNS servers.
Click Save to save your changes.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra cluster settings dns set --nameservers <nameservers>

--nameservers <nameservers>: A comma-separated list of DNS servers

For example, to set the external DNS server to 8.8.8.8, run:

# vinfra cluster settings dns set --nameservers 8.8.8.8
+------------------+---------------+
| Field            | Value         |
+------------------+---------------+
| dhcp_nameservers | - 10.10.0.10  |
|                  | - 10.10.0.11  |
|                  | - 10.37.130.2 |
| nameservers      | - 8.8.8.8     |
+------------------+---------------+

The added DNS server will appear in the vinfra cluster settings dns show output:

# vinfra cluster settings dns show
+------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Field            | Value                             |

| dhcp_nameservers | 10.10.0.10,10.10.0.11,10.37.130.2 |
| nameservers      | 10.10.0.11,10.10.0.10             |
