# Route internal AD-zone lookups straight to the Samba DC instead of the LAN # router, for every pod in the cluster. # # WHY: k3s CoreDNS forwards to the node's /etc/resolv.conf, which lists the # router (192.168.10.1) — and that resolver flaps. When it hangs, CoreDNS's # forward plugin blocks and even CLUSTER-INTERNAL lookups # (*.svc.cluster.local) start timing out, which is how Authelia ended up in # CrashLoopBackOff: its startup check resolves both dc1.ad.ddupan.top and # smtp-relay.smtp-relay.svc.cluster.local, and a strict startup check turns a # transient DNS blip into a restart loop. # # dc1 is AUTHORITATIVE for ad.ddupan.top, so sending that zone directly to it # removes the router from the path entirely — no forwarding, no upstream # dependency, no flap. # # k3s picks this up via `import /etc/coredns/custom/*.server` in its Corefile. # The `reload` plugin applies it without restarting CoreDNS. apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: coredns-custom namespace: kube-system data: ad-ddupan-top.server: | ad.ddupan.top:53 { errors cache 30 forward . 192.168.10.5 { policy sequential } } # ── stop search-domain permutations from hanging on the router ────────── # Pods get `options ndots:5` plus the NODE's search list, which still carries # `lab.ddupan.top` (the RETIRED domain) and tailscale's MagicDNS suffix.
