By this I mean, I have a powerdns server running in my cluster, I would like Kubernetes to add/update dns entries in my dns server to reflect all services or any domains that would be used within the cluster, this is to fix a current issue I am having, and for general control and centralization purposes.

Well, its kube-dns, and it simply, does not work, more specifically, it cannot resolve any external domains, I think it can resolve internal domains but I doubt thats working, but mainly it cant resolve external domains. I posted about it, here: https://lemmy.zip/post/36964791

Recently, it was fixed because I found the correct endpoint, and uhh, now it stopped working, I updated the endpoint to the newer one, but it went back to the original issue detailed in that post.

I'd be surprised if it's still kubedns.. the service name is still kubedns, but there will probably be CoreDNS pods behind it. To debug this, you should first ensure that you can resolve DNS by directly pointing to an external DNS server from a pod, and then from the node if that fails. eg. dig @1.1.1.1 google.com, or host google.com 1.1.1.1. It might be a routing/firewall/nat issue more than DNS, and this would help track that down.

https://pastebin.com/RhU5xtma I cant access any external address including dns servers, so, there is no firewall running on my pi (the master node), I can set the nameserver to be 1.1.1.1 in the pods config and iirc that works, but inside the pod, it doesn't work, so how do i fix this? You probably need more information so i can share. I am running calico as my CNI

Do you have any NetworkPolicies configured that could block ingress (to kubedns, in kube-system) or egress (in your namespace) ? If any ingress or egress networkpolicy matches a pod, it flips from AllowByDefault to DenyByDefault.

You should also do kubectl get service and kubectl get endpoints in kube-system, as well as kubectl get pods | grep -i dns
