Dynamic DNS configuration
Posted: Thu, 03/04/2010 - 15:02

Hi,

I have Eucalyptus 1.6.1 installed via openSUSE 11.2 rpms. All components (except the CC and SC) are running on different machines and I have 2 clusters (each having 4 nodes) up and running using MANAGED mode.

I have been experimenting with dynamic DNS feature. Here's what I have in the web admin interface regarding dynamic DNS:

DNS configuration:
Domain name: cloud.my.public.domain
Nameserver: cloud.my.public.domain IP: PUBLIC.IP.OF.CLC

Now with this configuration, instances are assigned public hostnames that look like

euca-PRIVATE-IP-OF-INSTANCE.eucalyptus.cloud.my.public.domain

and private hostnames that look like

euca-PRIVATE-IP-OF-INSTANCE.eucalyptus.internal

And, when I query the CLC for the IP of the euca-PRIVATE-IP-OF-INSTANCE.eucalyptus.cloud.my.public.domain host, it returns me the private IP of the instance where I expect it to return the public IP of the instance. Is this some sort of a bug or a configuration error?

Secondly, I can not get CLC component to respond to forwarded name resolution requests coming from my main DNS. I configured the main DNS to forward name resolution requests made at eucalyptus.cloud.my.public.domain to the CLC machine but the CLC does not respond to these requests. Can you please share a bind/named configuration that works with Eucalyptus as a reference?

Thanks

Anybody?

Some more info: Eucalyptus successfully allocates and assigns public IPs to the instances and there are no problems accessing the instances. So it's just about how to configure the dynamic DNS feature...

If there is anyone out there who got this working, I would really appreciate if you could tell me about your admin web interface DNS configuration.

You need to decide which

You need to decide which subdomain you are going to use for Eucalyptus (and Walrus) and then set that up as the domain in the DNS config. The nameserver host is the CLC host. You then setup your master DNS to let the CLC host handle the subdomain that you picked.

We will update the documentation with how to do this for bind soon, just haven't had a chance to do so yet. Until then, please hang in there. Your thread has not been forgotten.
