Post Body

Forgive my ignorance as I am not sure if this is something that should be done by the end devices’ resolver or powerDNS.

Is it possible for powerDNS to attempt to guess the IP of a device when it is only given the hostname? I’m aware that in typically windows/AD setups this is the default but it would be handy if I didn’t need to reference servers using their FQDN’s stored in the DNS.

Alternatively, is it possible to add single hosts to powerDNS without having to specify a zone?

Feel like this must be a feature.

PS bonus points for if anyone knows how to get UniFi DHCP server to publish it’s leases to the server.

Thanks for input!
