Not totally ready for review, but at a point to where it contains most of the info I know to contain / I need to work on the layout of the document...

This looks pretty good. It's nice that it walks through how to set up the DNS server, its caveats, and how to query it. It's too bad we don't have better resources to point to for how to configure system DNS, but this is probably highly specific to each environment (e.g. configuring it via provisioning tools vs. manual config on each distro, etc.) and should be left out, at least for now.

this is also hard to do since the lighthouse DNS does not resolve queries recursively and only responds about nebula ips / hosts

Right, you'd need a tool like dnsmasq or something probably.

Okay, I tried to address all of your comments John, thanks for the feedback!

jasikpark commented 1 year ago

I feel like providing that dnsmasq guide would be helpful if easily implemented

LGTM. I wish we could use ping instead of the HTTP example since it wouldn't involve standing up an HTTP server (which isn't covered in the tutorial), but I don't see any way to get ping to use a DNS resolver.

Thanks for writing this guide! I think it'll be useful to a lot of users.
