Public bug reported: It seems that when systemd-resolve cache an non-existent CNAME record for a domain, any attempt to resolve A record for the same domain fail.
systemd version the issue has been seen with Installed: 237-3ubuntu10.13 Used distribution Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic Expected behaviour you didn't see Return A record for a domain when it exists. Unexpected behaviour you saw Resolution failed. Steps to reproduce the problem Whait for 1 minutes (github.com TTL for A record) Try to resolv github.com CNAME record dig CNAME github.com This will return an empty result. Then try to resolve github.com A record dig A github.com. This will now return empty result unless you restart systemd-resolved or wait for cache expiration. At the same time using another DNS will resolve correctly dig A github.com @8.8.8.8. Exemple : Wait for 1 minutes to let cache expire, then run dig CNAME github.com dig A github.com # no result dig A github.com @8.8.8.8 # ;; ANSWER SECTION: # github.com. 59 IN A 192.30.253.113 # github.com. 59 IN A 192.30.253.112 PS: Don't forget to restart systemd-resolve, before trying to post an answer.
