Set a Domain Name as a DNS












1















I am hosting a DNS from my Raspberry Pi and would like to set it as my primary DNS in Windows 10. However I do not have a Static IP Address and would like to use my DDNS to connect to my DNS. For example when using nslookup I would do




nslookup example.com mydns.net




How am I able to use mydns.net as my DNS, in Windows 10.

    And how is the system supposed to resolve that DNS name?

  • @grawity I see the issue there. Is it possible to use a DNS to resolve the name and then the DNS for all other look-ups.

    No. But your Pi should have a static IP on your LAN. Just use that IP.

  • @ivanivan am using a VPN that doesn't allow for local DNS and would also like to use my DNS outside of the house.

  • Use a public DNS server to look up your dynamic IP, then put it into /etc/resolv.conf.
