LAN rewrite hostname/subdomain to hostname/subdomain.example.com

thisisbenwoo

Hi all,

I'm sure there is a simple solution to my question, but I don't really know where to look.

All I want to do is if I am on my LAN (or VPN), when I type https://hostname,/ I want it to translate it to hostname.example.com for ALL hostnames not defined in the Host Override section of DNS Resolver.

Current General DNS Resolver Options
Enable DNS resolver = yes
Listen Port = default (53)
Enable SSL/TLS Server = no
SSL/TLS Certificate = Let's Encrypt cert
SSL/TLS Listen Port = 853
Network Interfaces = All
Outgoing Network Interfaces = All
System Domain Local Zone Type = Transparent
DNSSEC = no
Python Module = no
DNS Query Forwarding = Yes,
- Use SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS = yes
DHCP Registration = no
Static DHCP = yes
OpenVPN Clients = yes
Custom options =
"server:
private-domain: "plex.direct"

Host Overrides =
Several entries that look something like:
Host = a
Parent domain of host = example.com
IP to return = 192.168.1.x

Some Host Overrides include alias(es)

That is on the client side, simple search suffix for example.com

Now when your host does query for hosta it will really do query for hosta.example.com

example..

My host.

indows IP Configuration                          
                                                 
  Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : I5-Win     
  Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : local.lan  
  Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast  
  IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No         
  WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No         
  DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local.lan

See the search suffix - now when it pings it for say some host it auto does query for the fqdn including the domain

$ ping brother

Pinging brother.local.lan [192.168.2.50] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.50: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=254
Reply from 192.168.2.50: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=254

You can see my client did a query for the fully qualified name
