DNSKEY queries being sent from client to server

Rocky Linux Help & Support
1

Hi,

I would like to know why DNSKEY queries going from client (VM with Rocky 8.x) to a DNS server.

Queries sending for every 8 hours and lasts for 1-2 minutes.
I am not very good at DNS related, can anyone help and let me know what logs need to be collected for debugging the issue ? I have sosreport genearted on client and /var/log/ and /etc/ folder content on server.

Best regards,

Kiran

DS and DNSKEY records are used by DNSSEC Resolvers - so it’s normal when DNSSEC is configured and in use.

Even if a host is not being used, and apps are open, it will still make DNS queries. Even the system, when for example checking if there are updates, etc.
