# Embedded DNS server in user-defined networks
The information in this section covers the embedded DNS server operation for
containers in user-defined networks. DNS lookup for containers connected to
user-defined networks works differently compared to the containers connected
to `default bridge` network.
> **Note**: In order to maintain backward compatibility, the DNS configuration
> in `default bridge` network is retained with no behaviorial change.
> Please refer to the [DNS in default bridge network](default_network/configure-dns.md)
> for more information on DNS configuration in the `default bridge` network.
As of Docker 1.10, the docker daemon implements an embedded DNS server which
provides built-in service discovery for any container created with a valid
`name` or `net-alias` or aliased by `link`. The exact details of how Docker
manages the DNS configurations inside the container can change from one Docker
version to the next. So you should not assume the way the files such as
`/etc/hosts`, `/etc/resolv.conf` are managed inside the containers and leave
the files alone and use the following Docker options instead.
Various container options that affect container domain name services.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<code>--name=CONTAINER-NAME</code>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>
Container name configured using <code>--name</code> is used to discover a container within
an user-defined docker network. The embedded DNS server maintains the mapping between
the container name and its IP address (on the network the container is connected to).
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<code>--net-alias=ALIAS</code>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>
In addition to <code>--name</code> as described above, a container is discovered by one or more
of its configured <code>--net-alias</code> (or <code>--alias</code> in <code>docker network connect</code> command)
within the user-defined network. The embedded DNS server maintains the mapping between
all of the container aliases and its IP address on a specific user-defined network.
A container can have different aliases in different networks by using the <code>--alias</code>
option in <code>docker network connect</code> command.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<code>--link=CONTAINER_NAME:ALIAS</code>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>
Using this option as you <code>run</code> a container gives the embedded DNS
an extra entry named <code>ALIAS</code> that points to the IP address
of the container identified by <code>CONTAINER_NAME</code>. When using <code>--link</code>
the embedded DNS will guarantee that localized lookup result only on that
container where the <code>--link</code> is used. This lets processes inside the new container
connect to container without without having to know its name or IP.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>
<code>--dns=[IP_ADDRESS...]</code>
</p></td>
<td><p>
The IP addresses passed via the <code>--dns</code> option is used by the embedded DNS
server to forward the DNS query if embedded DNS server is unable to resolve a name
resolution request from the containers.
These <code>--dns</code> IP addresses are managed by the embedded DNS server and
will not be updated in the container's <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> file.
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>
<code>--dns-search=DOMAIN...</code>
</p></td>
<td><p>
Sets the domain names that are searched when a bare unqualified hostname is
used inside of the container. These <code>--dns-search</code> options are managed by the
embedded DNS server and will not be updated in the container's <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> file.
When a container process attempts to access <code>host</code> and the search
domain <code>example.com</code> is set, for instance, the DNS logic will not only
look up <code>host</code> but also <code>host.example.com</code>.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>
<code>--dns-opt=OPTION...</code>
</p></td>
<td><p>
Sets the options used by DNS resolvers. These options are managed by the embedded
DNS server and will not be updated in the container's <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> file.
</p>
<p>
See documentation for <code>resolv.conf</code> for a list of valid options
</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
In the absence of the `--dns=IP_ADDRESS...`, `--dns-search=DOMAIN...`, or
`--dns-opt=OPTION...` options, Docker uses the `/etc/resolv.conf` of the
host machine (where the `docker` daemon runs). While doing so the daemon
filters out all localhost IP address `nameserver` entries from the host's
original file.
Filtering is necessary because all localhost addresses on the host are
unreachable from the container's network. After this filtering, if there are
no more `nameserver` entries left in the container's `/etc/resolv.conf` file,
the daemon adds public Google DNS nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) to the
container's DNS configuration. If IPv6 is enabled on the daemon, the public
IPv6 Google DNS nameservers will also be added (2001:4860:4860::8888 and
2001:4860:4860::8844).
> **Note**: If you need access to a host's localhost resolver, you must modify
> your DNS service on the host to listen on a non-localhost address that is
> reachable from within the container.

How can Docker supply each container with a hostname and DNS configuration, without having to build a custom image with the hostname written inside? Its trick is to overlay three crucial `/etc` files inside the container with virtual files where it can write fresh information. You can see this by running `mount` inside a container:

### Docker embedded DNS server
Docker daemon runs an embedded DNS server to provide automatic service discovery
for containers connected to user defined networks. Name resolution requests from
the containers are handled first by the embedded DNS server. If the embedded DNS
server is unable to resolve the request it will be forwarded to any external DNS
servers configured for the container. To facilitate this when the container is
created, only the embedded DNS server reachable at `127.0.0.11` will be listed
in the container's `resolv.conf` file. More information on embedded DNS server on
user-defined networks can be found in the [embedded DNS server in user-defined networks]
(configure-dns.md)
## Links
Before the Docker network feature, you could use the Docker link feature to
allow containers to discover each other and securely transfer information about
one container to another container. With the introduction of Docker networks,
you can still create links but they are only supported on the default `bridge`
network named `bridge` and appearing in your network stack as `docker0`.
While links are still supported in this limited capacity, you should avoid them
in preference of Docker networks. The link feature is expected to be deprecated
and removed in a future release.
allow containers to discover each other. With the introduction of Docker networks,
containers can be discovered by its name automatically. But you can still create
links but they behave differently when used in the default `docker0` bridge network
compared to user-defined networks. For more information, please refer to
[Legacy Links](default_network/dockerlinks.md) for link feature in default `bridge` network
and the [linking containers in user-defined networks](work-with-networks.md#linking-containers-in-user-defined-networks) for links
functionality in user-defined networks.

There are certain scenarios such as ungraceful docker daemon restarts in multi-host network,
where the daemon is unable to cleanup stale connectivity endpoints. Such stale endpoints
may cause an error `container already connected to network` when a new container is
connected to that network with the same name as the stale endpoint. In order to cleanup
these stale endpoints, first remove the container and force disconnect
(`docker network disconnect -f`) the endpoint from the network. Once the endpoint is
cleaned up, the container can be connected to the network.
