Re: Pi-hole, Linux hosts file and local DNS

[Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss]

It appears to use unbound for dns, so no reason you shouldn't be able to
add your own zone for your domain to it as well.

Services are a whole other matter, if applications aren't service aware for
dns (few are, active directory comes to mind does) without a whole other
layer of middleware like Cilium.

Re: Pi-hole, Linux hosts file and local DNS

[Donald Mac McCarthy via PLUG-discuss]

There may be a way to do it via dns, but why wouldn’t you use something like 
haproxy? You can use a single node instance to do it. I mention it because many 
devices have a very simple and/or old network stack that may not play as nice 
as a more full featured network stack. If they are all http/s based services, 
NGINX serves as a great option. Port information is not in the DNS 
specification. My $0.02.

You can assign domain names to local services internally using pihole. Yes. I 
do.

Re: Pi-hole, Linux hosts file and local DNS

[Amit Nepal via PLUG-discuss]

If I am understanding your question correctly, you can use pihole to 
resolve ips to your local domain names like you can with linux hosts 
file, but I don't believe there is a way to include port numbers with 
DNS resolution.


Thank You,
Amit

For example if Pi-Hole is at http://192.168.1.160/admin 
 can i create something that has that full 
URL? The Linux hosts file limits me to the IP address and I'm looking 
for a way to have anything that comes after the IP such as port 
numbers and such.

Pi-hole, Linux hosts file and local DNS

[Steve B via PLUG-discuss]

Is there a way to use Pi-holes local DNS functions to create entries for
services on my local LAN?

For example if Pi-Hole is at http://192.168.1.160/admin can i create
something that has that full URL? The Linux hosts file limits me to the IP
address and I'm looking for a way to have anything that comes after the IP
such as port numbers and such.
