Hacklab 2.0 Infrastructure: Difference between revisions

The Domain Name System is how computers find each other's IP address from their name. The current name for the on-premises Hacklab server is [shell.hacklab.to], which currently points to the power usage monitor through NAT (Network Address Translation). A local DNS server in the lab at [dns.hacklab.to] takes care of the internal lab network, for devices such as [laser.hacklab.to]. We are changing the internal domains to a new format like this: [laser.in.hacklab.to]. The external / public DNS records are served by Paul's nameserver in the Netherlands, but we still have control over the root DNS records.
