[Bug]: DNS not setting properly

[W1BTR]

🐛 Describe the Bug

When in the DNS section of our network, setting a domain to a server on the network doesnt appear to do anything. It adds the IP of the server to the "SERVERS" section, but the domain isnt listed there, and even with "Allow DNS Configuration" checked it doesnt seem to work

🔍 Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a network
2. Add a server
3. Attempt to assign a domain to that server with DNS

🌐 Browser

Chrome

🔧 Deployment Type

• [X] Docker
• [ ] Standalone

✨ Expected Behavior

DNS record is added, allowing us to visit that server directly via a domain.

Bumping this one again - we'd really like to move away from Tailscale for our internal DNS stuffs

The domain name should be preserved in the Search Domain input box, while the ip's will be listed under servers. You can only add one domain with several IP`s

Got it. It is preserved when I reload the page, but DNS does not resolve for any clients. I did verify they have dns checked in the options for the zerotier client

Also thats an odd implementation, not sure how having numerous servers could function, but I get that's a Zerotier thing, not a ZTNet thing.

An example here:

However I do see it under "DNS Domain"

I think I figured out what's going on, my assumption was that I was able to set a domain and have it point to an IP address, like Tailscale's magic DNS.

Is this instead letting us set the IP of DNS servers?

[W1BTR]

Nope, I still have no idea what this is supposed to do.

If Im adding a DNS server (as opposed to a dns for a server, such as a website), why does it need a domain, what is a search domain?

I either need to tell all clients connected to:

1. Forward any traffic from some.domain.com to a zerotier ip
2. Set the dns server for connected clients

This option isnt able to do either of those, so what does it do?

[W1BTR]

Ok so I figured it out. The domain it's looking for here is kind of like a wildcard.

For example, if you enter in mydomain.com, then anything that ends with .mydomain.com (for example, test.mydomain.com) will be forwarded to the DNS servers provided.

I then forwarded them to an adguard dns server that has a custom filtering rool directing to the zerotier ip address of the server.

Feels very hacky and limited but... works
