<p>I'm runnning a cluster in Kubernetes with minikube and VirtualBox.</p>
<p>This is my headless service</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    service: test
  name: test-group-ping
spec:
  clusterIP: None
  ports:
    - port: 4444
      name: ping
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 4444
  selector:
    service: test
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP
</code></pre>
<p>This is how I deployed the pods</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: test
  labels:
    app: test

  replicas: 3

          - containerPort: 8080

        readinessProbe:
            httpGet:
              path: &quot;/test&quot;

            initialDelaySeconds: 600
            periodSeconds: 30
</code></pre>
<p>I have another Load Balancer for the pods</p>
<p>When I use <code>kubectl get services</code> , I get <code>test-group-ping</code> as an headless service</p>
<pre><code>test-group-ping   ClusterIP      None             &lt;none&gt;          4444/TCP     8h

<p>I need the DNS query for this headless service</p>
<p>I tried  <code>test-group-ping.default.svc.cluster.local</code>, but when I tried to do a DNS lookup on this, it doesn't return any IP addresses of the pod</p>
<pre><code> % dig +search test-group-ping.default.svc.cluster.local
