Cloudmin KVM DNS hostnames not working
- by dannymcc
I have got a new server which has Cloudmin installed. It's working well and I can create and manage VM's as expected. The server came with a /29 subnet and I requested an additional /29 subnet to allow for more virtual machines. I didn't want to replace the existing /29 subnet with a /28 because that would have caused disruption with my existing VM's.
To make life easier I decided to configure a domain name for the Cloudmin host server to allow for automatic hostname setup whenever I create a new virtual machine.
I have a domain name (example.com) and I have created an NS record as follows:
NS kvm.example.com 123.123.123.123
A kvm.example.com 123.123.123.123
In the above example the IP address is that of the host server, I also have two /29 subnets routed to the server.
Now, I've added the two subnets to the Cloudmin administration panel as follows:
I've tried to hide as little information as possible without giving all of the server details away!
If I ping kvm.example.com I get a response from 123.123.123.123, if I ping the newly created virtual machine (example.kvm.example.com) it fails, and if I ping the IP address that's been assigned to the new virtual machine (from the second subnet) it fails.
Am I missing anything vital? Does this look (from what little information I can show) like it's setup correctly?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
For reference the Cloudmin documentation I am using as a guide is http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/gettingstarted
