Freshly installed Zentyal 6.1 - manually added DNS records are not applied to zone config, it seems that nsupdate is not executed. Not sure how it's possible, but I see different content of DNS.pm on disk(and in zentyal-dns package) to what exists on github.

Re: Zentyal 6.1 DNS module issue - manual adding DNS record doesn't work

I am seeing the same issue with a 6.0 server that was recently updated to 6.1 -- Adding new entries makes them show up in the DNS mgmt UI, but they are not resolvable via ping or nslookup - even after full server reboot.

UPDATE: after adding the line pointed out by B8emg, creating DNS entries now works for foward lookup... unfortunately, no reverselookup.. is this also a regression?

Additional thread on this issue: Other Modules -- I did the 6.1 upgrade now anything added to DNS won't resolve

NOTE: I've just added GitHub issue with reference to this thread: https://github.com/zentyal/zentyal/issues/1925

We've got the same issue with 6.1 - after migrating it from and ADC to PDC it's still referencing the old DNS on the old PDC!!!

Really annoying.How do you fix this?

We are working on this, as soon as we have a fix we'll release it (I hope it occurs in a few hours, or 1 day in the worst)

many thanks for your reports guys

I upgraded my Zentyal 6.0.1 to 6.1 but it has failed.  :( All LDAP entries have disappeared I need to reinstall Zentyal. I installed a fresh Zentyal 6.1 but DNS resolution not works. The problem is the same. Forward lookup not works but reverse lookup works.

Hi again,

The code that fix this issue have been published yet. You just need to install the dns 6.1.1 package to solve this issue.

Many thanks!

|That works - do a degree. The Authority section still points to the old DNS/AD server:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

How do we change that?
