## Accessing the OpenShift Cluster
-### Use the Cluster DNS
+### Configure DNS
-In addition to the OpenShift nodes, we created a DNS server with all
-the necessary entries. We will configure your *Ansible host* to use
-this new DNS and talk to the deployed OpenShift.
+OpenShift requires two DNS records to function fully. The first one points to
+the master/load balancer and provides the UI/API access. The other one is a
+wildcard domain that resolves app route requests to the infra node.
-First, get the DNS IP address:
+If you followed the default installation from the README section, there is no
+DNS configured. You should add two entries to the `/etc/hosts` file on the
+Ansible host (where you to do a quick validation. A real deployment will
+however require a DNS server with the following entries set.
-```bash
-$ openstack server show dns-0.openshift.example.com --format value --column addresses
-openshift-ansible-openshift.example.com-net=192.168.99.11, 10.40.128.129
-```
-
-Note the floating IP address (it's `10.40.128.129` in this case) -- if
-you're not sure, try pinging them both -- it's the one that responds
-to pings.
+First, run the `openstack server list` command and note the floating IP
+addresses of the *master* and *infra* nodes (we will use `10.40.128.130` for
+master and `10.40.128.134` for infra here).
-Next, edit your `/etc/resolv.conf` as root and put `nameserver DNS_IP` as your
-**first entry**.
-
-If your `/etc/resolv.conf` currently looks like this:
+Then add the following entries to your `/etc/hosts`:
```
-; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script
-search openstacklocal
-nameserver 192.168.0.3
-nameserver 192.168.0.2
+10.40.128.130 console.openshift.example.com
+10.40.128.134 cakephp-mysql-example-test.apps.openshift.example.com
```
-Change it to this:
+This points the cluster domain (as defined in the
+`openshift_master_cluster_public_hostname` Ansible variable in `OSEv3`) to the
+master node and any routes for deployed apps to the infra node.
+
+If you deploy another app, it will end up with a different URL (e.g.
+myapp-test.apps.openshift.example.com) and you will need to add that too. This
+is why a real deployment should always run a DNS where the second entry will be
+a wildcard `*.apps.openshift.example.com).
+
+This will be sufficient to validate the cluster here.
+
+Take a look at the [External DNS](#dns-configuration-variables) section for
+configuring a DNS service.
