Custom DNS for specific domains
Hello, I have a company laptop thats connected to the internet without a VPN. I need to be able to resolve my company's sub domains using a specific dns server, and have all other domains resolved by the system wide name server. In windows, this is trivial to do. In an admin powershell I run "Add-DnsClientNrptRule -Namespace ".foo.mycompany.com" -Nameserver "127.0.0.1" and resolution requests for *.foo.mycompany.com is sent to a name server running on the localhost. All other dns resolution requests are handled by the system configured resolver. MacOS does have the /etc/resolver/ solution for this, but my understanding from these forums is that this is not the recommended approach. Note - I have tried it and it works. AFAIU, the recommended approach is to create a system Network extension using NEDNSProxyProvider, override handleNewFlow() and do what's necessary. The issue with this solution is that it requires handling all the dns flow parsing of DNS datagrams to extract the host forwarding the datagrams to the appropriate dns server Handle responses. Deal with flow control Handle edge cases. I was hoping for something much simpler than us needing to implement datagram parsing. Could you please shed light on our options and how we could proceed ?
