Both approaches are valid, do know that this record will not show as the originating address. When you send an email to one of your configured addresses, the sending MTA will look up the MX record configured for your domain. It will get the IP from that domain and it will open an SMTP session … Read more
If you have access to create your certificates for that server I suggest you create a certificate that includes alternate names that the server may be known as. In that way the browser will automatically resolve the correct name. From https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/varunm/2013/06/18/bind-multiple-sites-on-same-ip-address-and-port-in-ssl/ SAN Certificate (Subject Alternative Name Certificate) You can setup the wildcard certificate if the … Read more
host-record=example.com,1.2.3.4 The dnsmasq man page says: –host-record=<name>[,<name>….][<IPv4-address>],[<IPv6-address>] Add A, AAAA and PTR records to the DNS. This adds one or more names to the DNS with associated IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) records. A name may appear in more than one host-record and therefore be assigned more than one address. Only the first address creates … Read more

It is generally considered a good practice to serve localhost, 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa and the RFC-1918 reverse zones on your internal DNS system to prevent sending queries from them out to the internet. It saves time (you get replies for those queries quickly), bandwidth (no requests leaving your network for zones that shouldn’t exist), and relieves the … Read more
You didn’t specify what your environment is but if you’re using Unix I think a combination of dig and grep should work. ns.example.com should be the hostname of your nameserver, example.com is the domain your host is part of, and HOST is the host that you want to find all the CNAME records for. That’s … Read more
In today’s world, I do not recommend creating new zones with arbitrary top level domains, as these might make it into “official dns” at any point in time. I personally would favor the subdomain delegation scenario, as it seems to be fitting what you try to do. (Consolidate but give control to engineering) Maybe you … Read more
Is it considered normal practice to add an A record for example.com at my DNS provider pointing to the private ip (192.168.2.13), so that development.example.com can resolve to my machine inside my private network? That will certainly work, but it’s not best practice as it opens the door for a bit of information leakage about … Read more
We see from your output that IP address was changed from 12.43.168.248 to 12.43.168.105. This is not a big problem if you use DHCP. But this is very uncommon behavior if you use DHCP on Windows Server – it keeps leasing info by default, so you have a big chance that your DHCP pool is … Read more
It’s perfectly acceptable to use a .local zone. We have one for our internal network, mainly used for development sites, but it works well.
