SD-Wan Local DNS server on HQ Router
|
You can point the DHCP DNS server at your remote nodes to the HQ router's IP address across the SD-WAN tunnel, but it comes with a major catch. Here is exactly how the network will behave if you do this:
To get full multi-site resolution across an SD-WAN without breaking local resolution, standard router DNS forwarders are usually insufficient. You would need to set up a dedicated DNS server (like Windows Server DNS or a small Linux VM running dnsmasq) at HQ and configure it with conditional forwarders—explicitly telling that central server to query the Site A gateway for Site A hostnames, and the Site B gateway for Site B hostnames. If you are only trying to access a handful of specific devices across the SD-WAN (like remote NVRs or access control panels), it is much easier to just assign those devices static IP addresses or add a few manual static DNS entries into the local gateway at each site. |
