This is one project that has stuck in my craw for a number of years. I am now in a situation where I am about to change out my network to be in two pieces. I have enough computers to think about a centralized DHCP/DNS server for the network. I have used PiHole in the past but now I want to make that the default for all of the routers in my network. The rub is, I have all of these vlans that need attention when I am giving out IP addresses. This will be an effort to consolidate the IP gathering and DNS entries into one location that is easier to control. Some specifics of what I want to do are:
- setup my Netgear switches to force certain IP ranges to certain vlans
- use PiHole to issue DHCP IP addresses tied to their MAC addresses
- if the MAC address is unknown, push it to a guest network
- include both the FLINT and FLINT2 routers in the mix
- modify my FLINT2 setup to have one guest network vlan that is passthrough
