Resolv DNS

Hi,

 

I am executing the TCPDUMP for see the DNS traffic, but i see the next and i don´t understand if the resolution work, because i don´t see the answer of server dns.

 

example:

 

03:33:12.041329 IP 172.16.9.65.20465 > 8.8.8.8.domain: 7186+[|domain]

 

03:33:12.311287 IP 172.16.9.65.57518 > 8.8.4.4.domain: 52732+[|domain]

 

03:33:12.451532 IP 172.16.9.65.37396 > 8.8.4.4.domain: 56104+[|domain]

 

03:33:13.371585 IP 172.16.9.65.62718 > 8.8.8.8.domain: 55692+[|domain]

 

Is normal this behavior or is necessary see the answer?

  • No, you should definitely see an answer. Can you route to these external addresses? From the shell, can you do an nslookup or dig using either of these IPs and get a good response?

     

  • Kevin,

     

    I see this in another time:

     

    03:33:15.734263 IP 172.16.9.65.54741 > 8.8.8.8.domain: 29532+ PTR? 187.144.126.207.in-addr.arpa. (46)

     

    03:33:15.764957 IP 172.16.9.65.58853 > 8.8.4.4.domain: 371+ PTR? 184.144.126.207.in-addr.arpa. (46)

     

    This is an answer? if not, how would show the answer when exist dns resolution?

     

    In this moment I can´t test, becaus was a migration and this is information that i saw after the migration don´t worked, but i need understand this for make the report.

     

  • This looks like another request, but for PTR records. A full request and response should look something like this:

    16:32:55.500807 IP 192.168.42.48.49782 > 8.8.8.8.53:  27003+ A? bing.com. (26)
    16:32:55.559772 IP 8.8.8.8.53 > 192.168.42.48.49782:  27003 1/0/0 A 204.79.197.200 (42)
