<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>So here is my DNSMASQ problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm running to VirtualBox Ubuntu 16.04 servers on two seperate 2011 mac mini servers (macos High Sierra).</div>
<div>Each of the two VirtualBox Ubuntu servers runs a LAMP website (Drupal based) and a DNSMASQ dns server. </div>
<div>The network is controlled by a Fritz!Box 7590. In the configuration the two different DNSMASQ servers are listed instead of the standard provider DNS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>VirtualBox One:</div>
<div> static IP 192.168.2.50<br/>
website IP 192.168.2.50 xxx.mydomain.com<br/>
DNSMASQ IP 192.168.2.50</div>
<div> </div>
<div>VirtualBox Two:</div>
<div> static IP 192.168.2.55<br/>
website IP 192.168.2.55 yyy.mydomain.com<br/>
DNSMASQ IP 192.168.2.55</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Fritz!Box (router)</div>
<div> Gateway 192.168.2.1<br/>
DHCP 192.168.2.100-200</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So far so good. This setup seemed to have worked for hals a year. Then recently I had to restore one of the VirtualBox servers. And now it only works somewhat. In short:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Each of the two DNSMASQ servers will only resolve the website on the other VirtualBox, the website on the same VirtualBox will resolve to localhost.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So if I want to be able to reach the domain in VirtualBox One I have to use the DNSMASQ server in VirtualBox Two and the other way around.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is the dnsmasq.conf file from VirtalBox Two (for Box One just substitute the 192.168.2.50 for 192.168.2.55).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf<br/>

<div>I am not very experienced with DNS servers, so can you possible point me in the right direction if you see an error.</div>
