Comment on Help! DNS A Records only ones getting filtered.

Here is how I would diagnose (I’m assuming you have Linux / WSL on a client)

Check the DNS record is actually set (yes do it again)
Do these steps on the client:
dig $domain check which server answered
dig a $domain should give a record
dig a $domain @server to make sure you’re querying the right server

If none work, probably network issue (DNS boind to wrong IP, firewall, etc)

If 3 and 5 work but 4 doesn’t, your DNS isn’t authorative.

Thanks for giving it some thought!

I have been testing using dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan

3, 4, and 5 work for TXT, NS and SOA but doesn’t work for A records. I think this rules out a simple network issue?

  Just to be sure you do dig A @server $domain (with the “A”) and can confirm the following
  
  SERVER is your server
  
  ;; ANSWER SECTION is empty (or doesn’t exist)
  
  ;; AUTHORITY SECTION mentions your local DNS server
  
  Also check
  
  dig NS @server $domain
  
  Is your server in the answer section?
