    @johnpoz said in How to setup local domain in local network that everyone:

    .local isn't a very good choice - that is a mdns domain.. You should use something like home.arpa

    I will try to understand what you are talking about and change it....

    Quick question in the resolver....I have tv as below

    e0682b09-6aa9-41e3-a352-6e45584461bf-image.png

    Works fine but I have to enter so:

    http://tv.home.com:9981/extjs.html

    Is there a way tv.home.com resolves to /tv.home.com:9981/extjs.html?

      @netboy no there isn't dns does not provide that ability. You would have to use a proxy to do something like that. Or whatever is serving up extjs.html - on that httpd make that the default document.

      Most http servers serve like index.html or index.php as the default document.. But that can normally be changed to anything you want. Not sure exactly what your accessing, if it really is a tv then most likely not.

      But what does it matter to be honest, create a bookmark and there you go..

      if was any typical httpd you could also have it listen on the default 80 or 443 port if https and then you wouldn't have to use the port..

          @netboy I am posting a better method to accomplish my functiionality.

          Say you have a local webserver and running NUT server.....the URL will be something like
          http://192.168.X.XX/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi

          I do NOT want to remember the full URL and by typing a shortcut say "ups" the browser must take me to http://192.168.X.XX/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi

          This can be done in Chrome browser as follows:

          Step 1 :
          Type chrome://settings/searchEngines in chrome browser

          Step 2: Add a site search
          search engine: just make up some name
          shortcut : ups
          URL with %s in place of query : http://192.168.X.XX/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi

          And Add!

          Thats it! now if you type ups in the chrome browser the browser will take you to http://192.168.X.XX/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi

          The netgate resolver only resoves to IP and not to the FULL url! Maybe Netgate can add this functionality

            @netboy wouldn't bookmark just be easier???

            if you goal is typing it out in your address bar, just set a tag or keyword.
