Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When using per-namespace static egress IPs, all external traffic is routed through the egress IP. "External" means all traffic which isn't directed to another pod, and so includes traffic from the pod to the pod's node. Consequence: When pods are told to use the node's IP address for DNS, and the pod is using a static egress IP, then DNS traffic will be routed to the egress node first, and then back to the original node, which might be configured to not accept DNS requests from other hosts, causing the pod to be unable to resolve DNS. Fix: pod-to-node DNS requests now bypass the egress IP and go directly to the node Result: DNS works

Tested on build v3.9.27

The dns query on a non-egress-node pod will not be transferred to the egress node.

Steps:
1. Setup env with network policy plugin
2. Patch any of the node as egress node
3. Create project and pods in it
4. Patch project with egress IP in step 2
5. tcpdump on port 53 on all the nodes
6. Try to send a dns query to the local dns server from the pod which is landed on the non-egress-node 
7. There is no packet generated on the egress node

(And the DNS query in step 6 should succeed.)

Aha, yeah, thanks.
It succeeded indeed.
