dnsmasq-service: all hostnames resolve to nginx-loadbalancer #66

Issue: Separate DNS for dynamic host resolution instead of mapping all queries to the Nginx server

Description:
Currently, all DNS queries for the opensource.mieweb.org and opensource.mieweb.com domains resolve to the Nginx load balancer’s IP. This includes unqualified hostnames resolved via the DHCP-supplied search domain, which prevents direct hostname-based access to other hosts on the network.

Recommendation:
Introduce a separate domain (e.g., cluster.mieweb.org) where DHCP-leased hosts are dynamically registered and resolved. For example, a host with a DHCP lease should resolve as host.cluster.mieweb.org to its assigned IP.

Benefits:

  • Enables per-host addressability without conflicting with proxy domains
  • Preserves proper internal DNS resolution
  • Simplifies service discovery within the network
  • Reduces reliance on static Nginx mappings for non-proxied hosts
