Hi,
I want setup my router as the DNS server only, I don’t want to use external DNS of ISP or any other.
I disabled peer DNS everywhere. settled up 192.168.88.1 as DNS on DNS page under IP. settled the redirect rule under firewall NAT, but no access to internet after that.
is it even possible to use my router only as DNS server?
thanks
Do you have “Allow remote requests” checked in your DNS settings?
Truely stand-alone DNS server needs data about top-level DNS servers. Currently there are about 20 of them. Without that information DNS server doesn’t know where to start the recursive search.
I fear that ROS simple implementation of DNS lacks this information (and probably capability to recursive search for correct answer as well) and is thus use of external DNS resolvers mandatory.
@mkx: Correct, DNS resolver in RouterOS can only forward requests to other resolvers and cache answers. There’s no support for recursive resolving at all.
thanks to all of you guys, now I understand, there is no possibility for internal DNS resolving in routerOS.
thank you so much all of you.
