I am running a Consul + Nomad mesh. I am attempting to reconfigure the Consul DNS, and have run into some issues.
Originally, I began writing this post because I didn’t seem to understand what network.dns.searches accomplishes. I wasn’t able to add a custom domain, e.g., mycompany, that the Consul DNS server on :8600 could successfully query.
I originally believed this also caused an issue querying against the .consul domain. However, I now believe I actually may have screwed up my configuration even more generally and cannot figure out how to debug it.
My network stanza looks like this:
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "http" {
to = "${port}"
}
}
My connect stanza looks like this:
connect {
gateway {
proxy {
}
ingress {
listener {
port = ${1 + port}
protocol = "tcp"
service {
name = "myservice"
}
}
}
}
The service deploys and is registered. I can see it in the catalog. Unfortunately, if I dig on port 8600 for myservice.services.consul or myservice.ingress.consul or some custom domain or whatever else, I am provided with an NXDomain answer.
I did change a rather a lot in my machine startup script. So, there may well be something very obvious that I’m forgetting.
How can I debug this? Which configs should I check?
