Local Domain Name Router
I pretty much just want to tell my router whenever it sees a request for some made up domain name to instead just redirect to a specific ip address on the local network.
Local domain name router. Maybe your router has an interface for defining host overrides. If you set as dhcp normally will the router as your dns server hostnames like that should work. To set up the global domain name for your home network go to system settings general. The server itself may only be accessible inside your network but the dns will be available anywhere.
The local domain name is used for the router to provide normal dns service. To get the name from a given ip use. Openwrt has such a thing and some routers have a similar dns server on them that you can add host entries to. Then enter a hostname for your opnsense router and the default domain name for your entire network.
The only question then will be if such a thing is possible is it easy enough to. Now if we check show cdp neighbors on r2 we see that r1 has a domain name appended to it. I am using the rax200 as my dhcp on my local network and the router modem supplied by my isp just as my modem. If you also then set the domain name or search path on your computers to the same value then you can use those names without the domain.
Redirect domain name to local network internal ip no requirement for external access. Reason for asking is that i am tinkering with some home automation nas and a pi hole ad blocker. Router config ip domain name name example. No reason to enter a domain name just ignore it.
This command allows you to set a domain name for the router. I actually set it in my router and have no problem with dns. Get a public domain name. If anyone has any thoughts or advice it would be apprecaited.
The local domain that i entered there is actually the name of the internal network active directory domain and also the workgroup name of the non domain member machines.
