Ubuntu 18.04 avahi-daemon unstable hostname.local resolution

On a local network im using a PC with Ubuntu 18.04 and i have two raspberry pi one of which is running pi-hole as DNS server (im not using its DHCP) and the other one has just a web server on it.



All the devices uses avahi-daemon.



The problem is pione.local or pitwo.local are not always resolved either via http or ssh.
Sometimes works then stops working and then works again ...



I tried several thing including :




  • Playing with /etc/nsswitch.conf (tried a lot of combinations)

  • Deactivating completely pi-hole to use the box DNS

  • Editing hosts file to remove 127.0.1.1 pione (for example)

  • Editing /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf to change some parameters like publish-workstation, publish-domain, publish-addresses, ... none of it changed anything. (and avahi out of the box should just work i think)

  • Tried to change the orginal ubuntu symlink of /etc/resolve.conf


/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf -> /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf


None of these seems to work ... resolution with hostname.local sometimes works and sometimes i have to enter the local ip of the device to access it.
Im getting out of ideas with this problem and i tend to think it's because of Ubuntu 18.04 settings which i haven't changed a lot from original settings.



Ideas are welcome !



Thanks.
