Back from vacation

Tuesday, August 22, 2017

The usual back-from-vacation-chores:

  • Tons of email

    * System upgrades pending all over the place

Another issue is that my dynamic DNS does not seem to like when it's not used for a while. None of the VMs responds. They probably "fell over" their Time-To-Live (TTL) values. Adding some static entries for the most frequently used VMs and machines. Now I get some messages from the DNS server that there are both static and dynamic entries, but I don't know where it keeps the dynamic ones.

As usual, the VPN reverted to its "full DNS resolution" mode, so that was also part of the problem, but only from my laptop.
