After replacing our Fortigates 100E with Fortigate 60F the DNS settings on our Ubuntu/Xubuntu workplaces no longers works. Windows PC's in the same VLAN have no issues with DNS.
When trying to ping form Ubuntu:
ping: adc001: Temporary failure in name resolution.
I have tried on multiple existing pc's but I have also installed new Ubuntu and then the same issue is there.
What
Based on your description it seems like a DNS suffix issue. Check if there is any configuration change on the new FGTs, you can find more information on this article.
When I try adc001.domain.local i get the sames response.
Make packet captures of both and compare. DNS is ultimately quite simple, so you should be able to identify the difference.
When I send a ping from the Ubuntu PC I get no activity on the Fortigate. When I use the dig command I see activty but I see the following errors
If the FortiGate doesn't even get the packet maybe it's going in a completely different direction?
Try checking the basics. (ARP, ping to gw IP, ping to some public IP, does the dst MAC of internet-bound packets match the FGT's MAC?, etc.)
