I’ve wanted to install pihole so I can access my machines via DNS, currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines, but that means that I have to copy the configuration to each machine independently which is not ideal.
I’ve seen some popular options for top-level domain in local environments are *.box or *.local.
I would like to use something more original and just wanted to know what you guys use to give me some ideas.
I do this too. I don’t think it’s bad. Sometimes you can have weird issues. Only time I remember weirdness is I had wildcard enabled on public DNS. So if a local DNS wasn’t available it would always resolve to the public IP. Can be confusing.
