Also, depending on what you are using for NAT, some devices will mangle the
reply payload of A record lookups as they traverse NAT to avoid haripinning (a
packet going out and then back in the same interface as it traverses NAT).
This is known as DNS doctoring, at least in the world of Cisco.

Let me know if either of those will solve your problem. If not, I might have a
misunderstanding of what you are asking.

i am looking to setup a VPN in order to access some resources, and want to
point my clients at this resource via DNS. the resource i am accessing is
internet resolvable, but i am accessing it via the VPN, and using a NAT for the
VPN (full 1-to-1 or static NAT). i want to have a record in my DNS for this
resource, using its proper name (which i am not authoritative for), but assign
it the IP of my NAT.
say for example, host.domain-ext.tld is the resource i want to access, and it
resolves externally to 1.2.3.4. my VPN NAT would be 192.168.99.137. i want
internal resolution of DNS to point to 192.168.99.137 so the network routing
takes my internal clients to the VPN and not out to the internet.
i am using isc bind, bind-dyndb-ldap, and fedora, but not freeipa, for dns. how do i
setup the zone and record to accomplish this DNS trick? i have talked with some DNS
gurus and they indicate that i can do something with the "@" record. it seems
that the record i want, would be its own zone, and the @ record would point to the name,
and the SOA would be the NAT IP. i could be wrong about the details, but something like
this is how to setup resolution the way i want.
any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Background note:
All these DNS tricks are hacks to work around IP routing problem in
configuration you described.
If you really want to use DNS tricks, you can create a DNS zone with name
equal to the you want to override and will this zone with A/AAAA record at
zone apex (@).
The DNS approach has some inherent advantages:
1. All DNS names below the name you want to 'hijack' will not be resolvable in
your network. E.g. if the name is hijacked.example.com. then sub-domains like
anything.hijacked.example.com. will not be resolvable.
2. Your clients will go securely over VPN if and only if they use your local
DNS servers. Any client configured (even accidentally) to use some other DNS
server (e.g. public 8.8.8.8) will get the 'public' address and do not tunnel
the traffic over VPN.
Secure and reliable solution is not to use DNS but solve things on IP layer:
On the network gateway, configure IPSec tunnel (or any other VPN) in a way
that *the original IP address* is routed over VPN.
This does not require any DNS tricks and thus will work regardless of client
configuration.
I hope it helps.
our posture states that we do not route network space that is not ours,
unless exigent circumstances dictate otherwise. we have dedicated
address space to NAT pools, in order to facilitate this. we also forbid
external dns resolution from endpoints, by limiting what can go out to
the roots for recursion. misconfigured clients are not able to perform
DNS resolution. we work with our counterparts on the other side of the
VPN to ensure we are only adding a host record, and that sub-domains are
not a point of failure for our access.
in terms of setting up this zone, how would one construct the ldif to
create it? because i am not using FreeIPA, i do not have the seemingly
built-in tools to perform this function. any reading material on the
subject is welcomed.
thanks,
brendan
