Is there a way to debug this further? I would expect to see my host's IP sent as a nameserver. I am not familiar with the DHCP server's implementation, but if I understand correctly it is internal to VirtualBox. Networking: Host-only adapter (vboxnet1 in trace below).10800 IN NS guest Linux system is not receiving DNS settings from VirtualBox via DHCP. flags: qr aa rd ra QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 >HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 56808 In the flash before it restarted I noticed that the GUI was already showing my new host record, but don't be fooled by this… The GUI display is based on what's in the zone files, not what the running server has loaded.Īfter restarting, you can us dig to verify that the wildcard host is working: aoide:~ kaelin$ dig I then went to the Server app and used the slide switch to stop and restart the DNS service. The last line serves as a reminder of the following important warning:īeware of editing any records subsequently with the GUI! If you bring up the dialog to edit it, the hostname shows as, and clicking OK will overwrite your wildcard with an invalid address record! Caveat emptor. Then open the file with your favorite command-line editor and add these three lines to the end of the file (of course substituting the IP address of your server): 300 IN A 4.3.2.1

First, of course, back up the file to your home directory or some other safe location. Note that I'm in a root shell here… All these files are owned by root, so this is the simplest way to edit them without accidentally screwing up their ownership or permissions.Īll we need do is edit the db.* file that corresponds to the zone we want to add a wildcard to… Here db. Mavericks OS X Server's DNS service stores its zone files in /Library/Server/named: sh-3.2# ls -lF /Library/Server/named It took a lot of interpolating older blog posts and poking through the filesystem, but this recipe seems to be working now for me:
