cdw5510 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I run some custom DNS that monitors usage and my EA1 controller is querying DNS at a high rate. Anyone else experiencing this? 1 0.000000 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0x19e4 A ea1-000FFF945CBE 2 0.000067 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0x7897 AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE 3 0.008745 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0x19e4 No such name A ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net 4 0.008853 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0x7897 No such name AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net 5 0.009738 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0x682d A ea1-000FFF945CBE 6 0.009817 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0x5cc3 AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE 7 0.018406 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0x5cc3 No such name AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net 8 0.018509 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0x682d No such name A ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net 9 0.022470 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0xca0e A ea1-000FFF945CBE 10 0.022615 192.168.1.72 45.90.28.133 DNS 80 Standard query 0x3f5a AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE 11 0.030800 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0x3f5a No such name AAAA ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net 12 0.030803 45.90.28.133 192.168.1.72 DNS 155 Standard query response 0xca0e No such name A ea1-000FFF945CBE SOA a.root-servers.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdw5510 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 I would expect the EA5 controller to be doing it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdw5510 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Wondering if anyone has anything on this. Over 500000 queries from the EA1 controller in the master bedroom. I find it odd why it keeps pinging the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I would just factory reset it and reload your project and see if it continues. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvonnur Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can confirm the same behavior. EA1 polling A and AAAA records (1000+ in 60 seconds). I only became aware of the behavior when my LDNS started throwing rate limits. (DNS is not my area so take the following with a two grains of salt) .. Doing some digging in my DNS logs was showing "ea1-000FFF94C***" trying to resolve it's IP but getting a NXDOMAIN response. I added a DNS record which seems to have solved the frequency of queries.

cdw5510 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Me and the chopedogg did a factory reset on the one EA1 controller (top one on list last week) and it based on that number stopped the queries. I since then added 2 more EA1 controllers and they are doing the same thing it looks like. High DNS queries. The bcm device is also a Control 4 product. (Confused face) : / And I use google everyday at home and it is way less. Can anyone flow this up to the Control 4 software team, seems a little excessive when Control 4 "shouldn't" reach out to the internet for much. Resolved Domains Domains that resolved without being blocked by any setting or because they were manually allowed. ea1-000fff945cbe 513,930 pool.ntp.org 236,223 bcm-000fff510e28 213,195 ea1-000fff1ba37d 163,941 ea1-000fff914ba0 163,549 google.com 69,028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I don't understand your logs. Are the controllers trying to resolve their own friendly names (eg, ea1-000xxxx)? DNS queries to pool.ntp.org are likely expected as your controller(s) are using them for NTP (to sync time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdw5510 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 What I posted is quiries to that name. pool.ntp.org one is for my devices getting NTP I expected that at a high rate, disregard that above. The Control 4 ones, I am confused why they keep querying for themselves. Or should I say something is on my network and there should be no reason too unless Control 4 is a DNS server too.

Likely a resolver/client misconfiguration on the controllers that you may not have any control over. Maybe the controllers are incorrectly trying to reach themselves via localhost?

Maybe something like where .local or something similar is not resolving locally ? What router are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
