It would be nice if Mikrotik supported resolving DNS txt records. Currently: failure: dns name exists, but no appropriate record
In scripting it would be very useful to check such records and trigger actions based on the records value. I noticed it was requested two years ago as well. I thinks its time guys.
I see your point but depending on infrastructure it would perhaps be less secure putting this in the DNS than for say a file on web or ftp server.
Pros being DNS is redundant and caching by nature but this pro may even be a con, due to the fact that even though you would reach stuff through any kind of nat but the cache would then be bad for the experience as you would not be in control of it any longer and depending on the information it would not be good to have that cached by a third party.
Due to this Cool but both Pro and Con stuff… I would vote MT to support https fetch this would both secure the transmission and do what you want and what many others want.
Down the Line I DO support that it would be cool in certain situations to be able to take advantage of all records in dns. While we are at it fullblown DIG and fullblown CURL would be a very nice addition to the mix.
Bear in mind that you can also point the router to your own DNS servers so you would be in control and not have to worry about propagation issues. And Fetch supports https already unless there is a specific thing you are referring to that it does not specifically do.
Ohh.. Thanks for pointing out. Is it in bugfix yet… Yes it was… thanks again for pointing that out.
No problem. It was an awesome day when they rolled out the new fetch. Now I can interact with Rest API’s and send SMS and control devices. Was badly needed.
