Description of problem: I’m running HassIO on Raspi3, with Supervisor 184 and HA 0.98.1. I’m still having issue with dns even after having tried everything i found on community. This is what system logs look like after a while, with CoreDNS plugin keeping going in error. If I try eny action related to a web call (like calling a Particle API, or a DarkSky API), error show up in HA logs.

I’m using PiHole as DNS resolver, running on another machine, and I have configured it on this RasPi 3, together with fixed ip.

What do I need to make it work again? What information do you need from my side to help the investigation?

Thanks
