DHCP Scope and DNS Reverse Lookup
-
What does Reverse DNS have to do with forward DNS not working, assuming that part is correct.
Can you ping the DNS name? You said you could ping the IP.
-
I have a feeling that the issue is that port forwarding has not been done yet?

It is not pingable by

It is available externally just fine. it is internal that I am having the issue. I don't believe Port Forwarding applies in this case - unless I"m missing something.

It is not pingable by
nextcloud.domain.comThat didn't make it any clearer.

Then why are we looking at the public DNS records? You either need to assign an overloaded one internally or a different one internally. The internal users cannot be using the public DNS records.

Unless your firewall supports hairpinning, assuming that's a Scott approved term.

Instead of looking at reverse, what do you get from an nslookup on nextcloud.domain.com?

Even hairpinning doesn't work in this direction.

OH! You should have said that, we've been assuming the main DNS system. Argh.
So internal doesn't work even though it points to the right address?

@gjacobse said in DHCP Scope and DNS Reverse Lookup:
However the NextCloud instance is on a
168.3.xzone. Going back to DHCP, the single scope is168.1.1 - 168.3.254.- force NextCloud to a
168.2.xaddress.
What do you mean force it to 168.2.x? That is a 168.3.x address here. See your subnet notes above.

Guess I made some assumptions when I mentioned DHCP Scope and DNS, and refererenced IPs in the local 192.168.2 zone

Ya idk what's going on. I'd do an nslookup first to figure out what the clients are tying to get to.

This is why I was confused. Looks like he left off the 192 to shorten it? I thought it was public also.
Ah it's in the reverse ip. I just missed it.

This thread is a lost cause. @gjacobse start a new thread. Post your GOAL and your PROBLEM. This thread is all about DHCP Scope and Reverse DNS which are both completely unrelated to the issue you are trying to solve. Everyone is lost because you led off with a thread about red herrings and not about the problem you are attempting to resolve. Start over from the beginning, but don't inject potential solutions or presumptions. Just state the state of things and what you need to have working at the end. Don't use terms like "DNS Server" without telling us internal or external. Don't modify addresses. Keep it simple and focused on the goal.
