I was able to set up a test environment, and in my testing it only work to use
192.168.0.254 as the DNS server on a combined main-server+thin-client server (I
suspect machines behind a standalone thin-client-server will work).
When using 'host www 192.168.0.254', the reply get back, while using
'host www 10.0.2.2' results in host outputing ";; reply from unexpected source:
192.168.0.254#53, expected 10.0.2.2#53".
This make me believe the problem is with powerdns, failing to respond with
source address being equal to the address used when the DNS request came in.
I suspect this was not a problem with bind, as this used to work.
Searching, I found the thread starting at
http://osdir.com/ml/network.dns.powerdns.user/2003-04/msg00095.html including
the
answer http://osdir.com/ml/network.dns.powerdns.user/2003-04/msg00106.html
where
a working solution is provided.
By setting "local-address=10.0.2.2, 192.168.0.254, 127.0.0.1" in
/etc/powerdns/pdns.c/pdns-debian-edu.conf, DNS work as it
should on the 192.168 network. I tested starting powerdns with this
setting when no interface was configured with 192.168.0.254, and it still
started. Because of this, I believe a fix is to change our pdns configuration
to have this setting by default.
This can be done in r1 with a package upgrade, or if Holger want it, in r0.
