It's not Samba that provides DNS. It's the /etc/resolve.conf as I said in the OP
Am I wrong in thinking named is a core module of Centos?
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Depl ... -bind.html
So how do I correctly configure bind to act in the way you suggest?
If not for here, then can you suggest which forum might be able to help?
KVM and DNS Resolution
Re: KVM and DNS Resolution
No, it is samba. You have to set bind up and it's complicated and you would know if you'd done it. I suspect all you need to do is tell samba that you want it to forward DNS queries onwards using the instructions in https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/DNS
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: KVM and DNS Resolution
I have a similar problem. I am running CentOS7 in a KVM. It is configured with SAMBA4 as the AD/DC. I run all the tests on the server and everything is fine except this command: host -t A dc1.midlands.org.
This command returns: Host dc1.midlands.org. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
When I use: host midlands.org I get the following. midlands.org has address 192.168.10.251
So it appears my Samba DC is not providing the correct information. I have searched the net for an answer and have found none. I know this is a samba4 question, but I can't seem to find a Samba forum.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? I am looking for a simple supportable AD/DC for a customer that can be administered by someone who is familiar with Windows but not Linux.
Many thanks.
