Local DNS server on MX

Reading this documentation it looks like the MX can now act as a local DNS server and proxy non-local requests out 😎

Only configurable via API at the moment, but hopefully a dashboard page is in the works 🤞

This looks awesome!  I hope it is usable for client VPN as well.

 

The only other thing that could make it even better is if it supported either adding DHCP hosts to the local zone or DNS registration (allowing machines to self-register in DNS). That would allow VPN clients to talk to internal hosts by DNS name.

This would be great for small companies that don't have Active Directory, and rely on broadcast name resolution systems when on WiFi or LAN to find servers, NASes, IoT devices, etc.
