Create a DNS record on a Unifi Security Gateway
Assuming you’ve enabled DNSMasq on your Unifi Security Gateway, you may wish to create local DNS records.
EDIT: these records and options seem to be overwritten after a short period. Investigating why.
EDIT: Ah-ha. The trick is to save the override file on your Unifi Controller:
[root@unifi ~]# cat /usr/local/share/java/unifi/data/sites/default/config.gateway.json
{
"system": {
"static-host-mapping": {
"host-name": {
"vinz": {
"inet": [
"192.168.1.11"
],
"alias": [
"smtp",
"netdata"
]
},
"frank": {
"inet": [
"192.168.1.12"
]
}
}
}
},
"service": {
"dns": {
"forwarding": {
"options": [
"expand-hosts"
]
}
}
}
}
