Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Sort of sync DNS servers in a VPN connected network

No, the first two didn't take because the from: email didn't match my
mailing list registration.
I then sent the third message with the right from: field.
For convenience, I then registered the other email, not realizing that the
first two blocked emails would then go through.
Won't happen again.

Did you mean to send this three times?

Sounds like this:

Sorry, I just noticed that I never managed to link that from the main 
page, so it probably does not rank well in search engines.

Note that you don't need to reinvent the DNS notify concept.  In fact 
you can keep it simple as in my howto, with static entries for the 
various remote sites.  If one of the sites is unreachable via the 
VPN, no problem if those names fail to resolve.

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Sort of sync DNS servers in a VPN connected network

2018-05-11 Thread m...@farmwald.com
I have a home network (call it 10.2.0.0/16) and multiple VPN connected
networks (10.x.0.0/16).
I would like each of the 10.x networks to have a separate dnsmasq, with
their own DHCP and DNS server.
However I'd like the 10.2 DNS server to hold DNS information for all of the
networks. Thus I could first check the local (10.x) and then the home
(10.2) DNS, ensuring I get information for all devices, no matter where the
host is.
I can't see an easy way to do this, but maybe I'm missing something.
I have a proposal that seems simple. If the 10.x dnsmasq servers had a
mechanism for forwarding DHCP requests/renewals as advisory only to
upstream dnsmasq servers, and then the upstream servers would simply
remember the bindings in the relevant DNS database, I'm pretty sure my
problem would be solved.
I would be fine with UDP advisory messages, as if some updates get lost
there will be later updates to keep the upstream  DNS database in good
shape.
This is somewhat similar to the "--dhcp-script" option, but I need every
request/renewals to be forwarded, and I need dnsmasq to accept such
advisory requests.
I envision something like "--send-advisory-updates=" to cause
dnsmasq to start sending advisory updates, and the dns server would need to
be able to handle these update requests.
