2 min read
When you create a Kubernetes Service, pods from within the same namespace should be able to resolve it's IP by name. For example, if we create a service named ampa-votacions; any pod from the same namespace should be able to resolve it's IP. But sometimes it can't be resolved:
$ kubectl exec -it ampa-install-ws7cw -- sh / $ nslookup ampa-votacions Server: 172.20.0.10 Address: 172.20.0.10:53 ** server can't find ampa-votacions.us-west-2.compute.internal: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.ampa.svc.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.svc.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.ampa.svc.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.svc.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.cluster.local: NXDOMAIN ** server can't find ampa-votacions.us-west-2.compute.internal: NXDOMAIN19/04/2021

When a DNS change is involved in an ongoing issue, we need to be sure when we use, for example curl, whether we are hitting the new or the old resource. Is that DNS record still cached locally? One of the best ways of checking this is by sniffing the DNS traffic using tcpdump
