I've searched the forum, wiki, and mailing lists and the only thread I could find in which the issue is "solved" is here: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&th=761&mid= 3947&&rev=&reveal=

The problem is I cannot get a response for DNS queries executed from my VE's if iptables is running on the HN.
  • I have ip_conntrack enabled in /etc/modules.conf
  • I have a nameserver config'd in /etc/resolv.conf
  • nsswitch.conf has "hosts: files dns"
  • I can connect to the VE via ssh. (using IP addr)
  • I can connect to other machines on the network from the VE via ssh. (using IP addr)
  • If iptables is stopped, DNS lookups on the VE work. (using ping, dig, and getent)
  • If iptables is running dig gives the error: "connection timed out; no servers could be reached" even if I specify the nameserver on the command line.
  • If iptables is running ping just says: "unknown host ..."
  • I'm pretty sure at one point it was working though and that's what really mystifies me...
  • I've also restarted vz and iptables on the HN with no joy.
Here's what the firewall tables look like:
Table: nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

REJECT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Both the host and guest OS are CentOS 4.

Any ideas other than turn off the firewall?
