Re: dns/ip resolve error in PASE

Someone else wrote the goLang script... I know nothing about it. They claimed they had no issues when they ran it with resolving dns/ip...

Hmm. Can you successfully resolve (external) IP addresses "in PASE", with the ping command, for example? (In my 7.2 installation, there's no ping, unfortunately. Maybe this changed with newer releases?)

With that I want to find out if this "localhost" for DNS resolution is something hard coded in the GoLang program, or a configuration problem on your IBM i.

Our linux guy is suggesting to "provide a service on port 53"... but not
quite sure what he is referring to.

He's referring to a DNS server task.

Any ideas?

The "DNS client" in IBM i (or PASE) might be misconfigured, pointing to itself on localhost [::1]. That probably might never have been a problem, until you want to use outgoing connections.
