How do you manage your DNS records? (A names, C names)
I can create record in Samba but the records from the DHCP are created in Dnsmasq.
So I can’t point an alias to the records created by the dhcp.
From what I can see the Host panel only allows me to create a server Alias which points to the Nethserver instance or a Host which points to an IP address.
However the DHCP already created all those records when distributing addresses and I can’t create an alias for an host record created by the DHCP. To make things dynamic.
I know the records are there because everything resolves.
I want to create an alias for my records.
Example:
Something of the sort, I am not sure if I am missing something but I can’t seem to find how to create an Alias that points to a server other then the nethserver itself.
a CName is exactly what I wanted to do.
I use DHCP for certain services (I know I could use a IP reservation)
Your idea is an alternative that I could use to bypass my issue.
Thanks,
I think that Samba DNS would be very good for people like me who want a windows like domain.
But then the current Samba DNS doesn’t support dynamic DNS from DHCP.
