Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a home network on which I would like to have automatic name resolution, so I don't have to type in ip-addresses anymore.<br />
Configuration: router, wireless access point, Synology NAS, some Windows 7 pc's, an ESX-server with some vm's on it.<br />
I could setup a domain but would like to be able to resolve names without being dependend on a domain controller. If I would join all pc's to a domain, everything would fall appart when my domain controller would be down, that's something I would like to avoid. I would like to have a hassle free, little maintenance network.<br />
<br />
Now my NAS is running 24/7, I could run bind but haven't looked further into it since I don't know if it's worth all the trouble (it's quite some configuration).<br />
Thanks for any tips on &quot;how should I setup automatic name resolution (for router, access point, nas, esx, vm's ...).

Name resolution on local network

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
