テーマ： dns linux networking systemd

On a systemd-resolved host, /etc/resolv.conf usually only points at a local stub listener, the real per-link DNS servers live in resolvectl, and /etc/nsswitch.conf decides whether getent hosts even asks DNS. Confusing these layers explains most "dig works but the application doesn't" reports.

Goal

Find why name resolution fails or gives different answers to different tools on a Linux host that runs systemd-resolved (the default on Ubuntu since 17.04 and on Fedora since 33; optional on Debian, and not the default on RHEL).

Prerequisites

resolvectl present (systemd-resolved package/unit); root not required for read-only queries.

Steps

  1. Check whether resolved is actually managing resolution: resolvectl status. It lists the global DNS servers, the per-link servers and search domains, and the current DNSSEC/DNSOverTLS mode.
  2. Look at /etc/resolv.conf. If it is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf, applications that read it send queries to the local stub listener on 127.0.0.53:53, which resolved then forwards per link — the file does not show the real upstream servers. If it points to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf instead, it lists the real upstream servers and applications reading it bypass resolved's per-link routing and cache.
  3. Query through resolved and compare with a direct query: resolvectl query example.com versus dig @<real-upstream-server> example.com. A difference points at resolved's own cache, per-link server selection, or DNSSEC validation, not at the network path.
  4. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf, the hosts: line. Its order decides who answers: files consults /etc/hosts (normally first), resolve asks resolved directly, dns uses the servers in /etc/resolv.conf, and modules such as myhostname or mdns4_minimal can answer before DNS is asked. getent hosts and every glibc getaddrinfo caller follow this order; dig talks to a DNS server directly and bypasses NSS and /etc/hosts entirely.
  5. Run getent hosts example.com and getent ahosts example.com and compare with dig/resolvectl query. A getent answer that differs from dig usually means the hosts: order or an /etc/hosts entry, not DNS, decided the answer.
  6. For a stuck cache, resolvectl flush-caches (root) clears resolved's cache without restarting the service.

Expected result

A clear statement of which layer produced which answer: resolved's cache, the stub listener, NSS ordering, or the authoritative DNS server itself.

Limits and test basis

Debian's default installation, unlike Ubuntu, commonly does not enable systemd-resolved; on such a host /etc/resolv.conf is a plain file and this procedure does not apply — check with readlink /etc/resolv.conf first. Commands verified against resolvectl(1), systemd-resolved.service(8) and nsswitch.conf(5).
