[Bug 1339387] Re: Can't lookup DNS for akamaihd.net

[Thomas Hood]

The line "nameserver 127.0.1.1" in resolv.conf strongly suggests that
you are using NetworkManager which is running a local forwarding
nameserver — an instance of the dnsmasq program — listening at IP
address 127.0.1.1. NetworkManager is responsible for obtaining addresses
of nameservers and giving these addresses to this slave dnsmasq process.
Look carefully at your NetworkManager configuration.

Title:
  Can't lookup DNS for akamaihd.net

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 on ThinkPad W530

  My Ubuntu machine can't lookup the DNS for akamaihd.net. I tried
  different WiFis, other computers do work. All other domains (seem to)
  work. Accesing through proxies work and online services can recognize
  it's DNS (which I can ping if entering the IP-address by hand).

  $ host akamaihd.net # does not terminate
  $ ping akamaihd.net # does not terminate, no output

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf # + reboot did not make a difference
  $ sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean # makes no difference

  $ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  nameserver 127.0.1.1
  search localdomain

  Modifying the /etc/hosts file fixes the issue.
  (E.g. I added "77.109.171.19 fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net" and then that partial service worked.)
