I believe the problem is that diald is, by default, configured not to
bring up the link for dns requests. Your other machines are probably
also configured to use only your nameserver, without any secondary
nameservers.
You could set up secondary nameservers on all of your machines, or you
could find the following lines in /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter and
change them:
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.domain
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.domain
change to:
accept tcp 60 tcp.dest=tcp.domain
accept tcp 60 tcp.source=tcp.domain
accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.domain
accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.domain
should be fine, but you might increase the timeout from 30 to 60
seconds.
