Comment 3 for bug 2059405

Hi Will,

So OVN is responding, but only when I specify an external server, regardless of what's in resolvectl. And even then, we get the correct response from OVN followed by error messages.

Here is the resolvectl output, with the controllers set as DNS servers. Note above that I've also tried this without any DNS servers specified. Currently the controllers are running designate, but of course there are no entries for vm1 or vm2 specifically created:

Global

  resolv.conf mode: stub

Link 2 (eth0)
    Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported

       DNS Servers: 172.30.89.46 172.30.89.61 172.30.89.76
        DNS Domain: aio.local

;; no servers could be reached

;; communications error to 1.2.3.4#53: timed out
;; communications error to 1.2.3.4#53: timed out

You can see, if I specify nothing as a DNS server it just fails using the short hostname. If I specify anything as a DNS server, even if it's junk, OVN is responding but I also get errors.
