[SOLVED] DNS resolution fails when SAB is downloading

Hello Everyone,

I have recently installed an UnRAID server with Sabnzbd installed as plugin. Whenever Sab is downloading outgoing DNS queries seem to fail. For example, a ping to http://www.google.com will fail, however, 74.125.255.81 will not. I've installed a copy of Sab from source to the cache drive and am experiencing the same activity. Other devices in the network have functional DNS while Sab is downloading. Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this?

When Sab is downloading, log in on your UnRAID server, and do this:

Code: Select all

host www.example.com
host www.example.com 8.8.8.8
Post back the result

The UnRAID server does not have that package installed by default. It seems, however, the using 8.8.8.8 as my DNS server resolves the problem. I thought this had already been tested but apparently not. Thank you Sander!
