interesting route table. This is default VRF but you have route leaking
through eth0 which is in mgmt-vrf.

The DNS servers are 10.24.65.203 or 10.24.64.203 which you want to go
out mgmt-vrf. correct?

10.24.65.203 should hit the route "10.24.65.0/24 via 10.24.12.1 dev
eth0" for both default VRF and mgmt-vrf.

10.24.64.203 will NOT hit a route leak entry so traverse the VRF
associated with the context of the command (mgmt-vrf or default). Is
that intentional? (verify with: `ip ro get 10.24.64.203 fibmatch` and
`ip ro get 10.24.64.203 vrf mgmt-vrf fibmatch`)

`ip vrf exec mgmt-vrf <COMMAND>` means that every IPv4 and IPv6 socket
opened by <COMMAND> is automatically bound to mgmt-vrf which causes
route lookups to hit the mgmt-vrf table.

Just running <COMMAND> (without binding to any vrf) means no socket is
bound to anything unless the command does a bind. In that case the
routing lookups determine which egress device is used.

Now the response comes back, if the ingress interface is a VRF then the
socket lookup wants to match on a device.

Now, a later response shows this for DNS lookups:

  isc-worker0000 20261 [000]  2215.013849: fib:fib_table_lookup: table
10 oif 0 iif 0 proto 0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 127.0.0.1/0 tos 0 scope 0 flags 0
==> dev eth0 gw 10.24.12.1 src 10.24.12.10 err 0
  isc-worker0000 20261 [000]  2215.013915: fib:fib_table_lookup: table
10 oif 4 iif 1 proto 17 0.0.0.0/52138 -> 127.0.0.53/53 tos 0 scope 0
flags 4 ==> dev eth0 gw 10.24.12.1 src 10.24.12.10 err 0
  isc-worker0000 20261 [000]  2220.014006: fib:fib_table_lookup: table
10 oif 4 iif 1 proto 17 0.0.0.0/52138 -> 127.0.0.53/53 tos 0 scope 0
flags 4 ==> dev eth0 gw 10.24.12.1 src 10.24.12.10 err 0

which suggests your process is passing off the DNS lookup to a local
process (isc-worker) and it hits the default route for mgmt-vrf when it
is trying to connect to a localhost address.

For mgmt-vrf I suggest always adding 127.0.0.1/8 to the mgmt vrf device
(and ::1/128 for IPv6 starting with 5.x kernels - I forget the exact
kernel version).

That might solve your problem; it might not.

(BTW: Cumulus uses fib rules for DNS servers to force DNS packets out
the mgmt-vrf interface.)
