local DNS server
3 years ago
hi,
first of all, sorry for using the English language. My German is enough only for grocery stores for now.
the context:
1. I am building a tiny homelab with a couple of sbc servers. I need a separate DNS server in the local network. The DNS server will be hosted on a raspberry pi.
2. I am using the Speedport w724v typ b.
the problem: as far as I understand, I cannot just connect the raspberry pi to the router and specify its IP in the router's settings.
Am I missing something important? How would you go about solving such a problem?

Unfortunately, the W724v cannot be configured to announce a DNS server to clients that is not itself. This is a limitation of all Telekom Speedport routers as far as I am aware of.
I see two solutions here:
- Turn off the DHCP server on the W724v and run it on one of your servers instead. Here's a howto document on installing a DHCP server on a Raspberry Pi.
or
- Get rid of the W724 and get a router that can be configured more freely. For example, I'm running a Raspberry Pi with Pi-Hole DNS on it. My router is an AVM Fritz!Box which is configured to announce the Raspberry's IP address as the DNS server for the network.

ah, thank you!
for now I have followed the first option. It works
later, I believe, I should substitute the W724V with a separate modem + router + AP.
