Bug Description

When a subnet is created with more than one DNS the order they were specified is not retained.

One reason this is an issue is that the user wants to split the DNS usage evenly across the available DNS nameservers to lessen the probability of the DNS lookups causing a performance bottleneck.

Here's the commands to recreate:

[root@rhel62 neutron]# neutron net-create mynet

dns_nameservers ordering has never been guaranteed. This seems like a feature to consider for Icehouse.

    Keep dns nameserver order consistency

    Currently, there is no dns servers prioritization for subnets
    for Neutron.

    Generally speaking, it is useful to keep the order of dns
    nameservers consistent. Add a new column named 'order' in table
    'dnsnameservers' and add nameserver into DB one by one.

    SR-IOV: Fix SR-IOV agent to run ip link commands as root

    Commit https://review.openstack.org/#/c/155523/
    remove the remaining root_helper args, but didn't
    update the SR-IOV agent to execute them as root.

    This patch updates the agent to execute ip link commands
    as root and pass options argument as a list in the
    self._as_root method.

    Update dhcp agent cache for network:dhcp ports

    When a network with a dhcp_enabled subnet is scheduled on a dhcp
    agent, dhcp driver creates the network:dhcp port for the subnet.
    However, the port info is not updated in dhcp agents internal cache.
    Subsequently if the user deletes the network:dhcp port, the port is
    properly deleted on the server side (i.e., in the database) and when
    the port_delete_end notification is sent to the dhcp agent, it simply
    ignores it as the port entry would be missing in the cache. This patch
    fixes this issue by updating the dhcp agents cache when dhcp driver
    creates the network:dhcp port for the subnets.

all my vm will get 1.1.1.1 as first dns server, then 2.2.2.2 then 3.3.3.3. so 1.1.1.1 will get a lot more traffic than the others.

today 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3 have about the same amount of traffic

gustavo panizzo (gfa) wrote :

nevermind, i can fix it on the vm using

*rotate*
 sets RES_ROTATE in _res.options, which causes round-robin selection of name servers from among those listed. This has the effect of
spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.

in resolv.conf
