DNS module

@Tbaile no offence, but these were some of the views

@danb35

I wonder if this might be easier to integrate with NS8, given its all-container architecture. I’m seeing more value in it than I once did (see Full, public, authoritative DNS support ), but with the current architecture, I think it’d be near-impossible to replace dnsmasq in NS7. But it’d sure be nice for NS to be able to automagically handle all the dozens of DNS records that are used for email…

Its Ok having DNmasq if its properly implemented with interface in NS8
And its Seems DNSMAQ is more suited for the Internals
IF Not, then A Separate Full Featured DNS App Would definitely be required as well.

I understand you might be more experienced with DNSmasq than all other DNS solutions

@danb35 here HAs a Most comprehensive explanation of need
Full, public, authoritative DNS support - Feature - NethServer Community

IF properly Implemented, a Proper DNS module in Nethserver8 WOuld be Game over, Could support Multi Node SYnc and Support(Dual tenant)
Could in future with additions, Push DNS Entries into other DNS systems like Cloudflare,CloudNS and brothers

Would have a proper Cerbot Integration, DNS challenge integration for some hard nut Apps

The Main need and reson of DNSMASQ for now, i believe it to be DHCP, We could have Bind handle DNS and other Solutions handle DHCP.

Or rather, Make use of something like KEA DHCP for DHCP.Already has some interface, so, maybe less work
(These are just thoughts)

Overall, there are already many topics discussing DNS on the community that @Tbaile you could dig into, and where more experienced DNS users than myself have contributed their thoughts, so i do not see How i could pretent to be An authority on the Topic.

Just remember as we are implementing these fatures, We still have competitors like Zentyal, Uninvenction and ClearOS especially with the Orchestrator only Route NS8 has taken.

So its something to Consider as well.
