Problem

I have custom installation of k8s cluster with 1 master and 1 node on AWS ec2 based on Centos 7. It uses Core-DNS (pods running fine with no errors in logs) Inside of a node pod when calling e.g. nslookup google.com the output is nslookup: write to '10.96.0.10': Connection refused ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

For example, pinging inside of a pod ping 8.8.8.8 works fine:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=0 ttl=50 time=1.330 ms

/etc/resolv.conf inside a pod it looks like:

nameserver 10.96.0.10
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local ec2.internal
options ndots:5

This command works fine from the node itself nslookup google.com:

Server:         172.31.0.2
Address:        172.31.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   google.com
Address: 172.217.15.110
Name:   google.com
Address: 2607:f8b0:4004:801::200e

Kubelet config kubectl get configmap kubelet-config-1.17 -n kube-system -o yaml returns

Pods in kube namespace kubectl get pods -n kube-system look like this:

coredns-6955765f44-qdbgx                                1/1     Running   6          11d

UPDATE

From the pod if I do ip route it returns:

default via 10.32.0.1 dev eth0 
10.32.0.0/12 dev eth0 scope link  src 10.32.0.16 

From master:

default via 172.31.32.1 dev eth0 
10.32.0.0/12 dev weave proto kernel scope link src 10.32.0.1 
172.17.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.0.1 
172.31.32.0/20 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.31.42.121 

From node:

default via 172.31.32.1 dev eth0 
10.32.0.0/12 dev weave proto kernel scope link src 10.32.0.1

172.31.32.0/20 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.31.46.62 

CoreDNS configmap kubectl -n kube-system get configmap coredns -oyaml is:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  Corefile: |
    .:53 {
        log
        errors
        health {
           lameduck 5s
        }
        ready
        kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa {
           pods insecure
           fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa
           ttl 30
        }
        prometheus :9153

        cache 30
        loop
        reload
        loadbalance
    }
kind: ConfigMap

So why nslookup google.com doesn't work inside of a pod??
