Stupid question, I have Plexconnect working fine, but I was wondering if I could have more of my PC's, machines in the house use it as a DNS. Can I add named DNS entries into plexconnect?
For example
Server1 would resolve to 192.168.1.2
Thanks and good work guys.
any suggestions?
You would need to adapt/edit the DNSServer. If you look there, it catches trailers (and returns your PlexConnect host's) address as well as other addresses to prevent updates (and returns nonsense - 127.0.0.1).
You could add code to check for other hostnames and return the correct address, maybe defined in another cfg file. But then, why don't you set up a *real* DNS Server? And let that one resolve the atV requests as well?

I did that, well, I tried and it failed miserably for some reason so I gave up for now. I have a synology NAS running plexconnect perfectly. I installed the DNS package but I couldn't quite get it to work. I had hoped I wasn't the only one who would have requested this from plexconnect.
Thanks
Here's my problem in a nutshell. Its working with the exception of trying to create a zone for netflix.

What do you mean you are trying to create a zone for Netflix? Are you trying to use a geo unlock service or do you mean something else?
Ah just read your issue in the other thread (your link was linked to the first post of 100’s). I am not sure why you want separate DNS resolution for different domains, this is not how these ego unlock services are meant to work, they are designed to resolve all external DNS enquiries.

I know, I know... I was hoping that for just my netflix "service" the unblock-us could be the dns, but for all else just use google. I've noticed on some of these external DNS, there can be slowness in resolution ( i believe) and that also other sites like amazon, target, etc, are tricked or sent to the wrong site.
This isn't huge deal, just am trying to learn a little as well.
Why don't you use another (more configurable) DNS server in your network and point PlexConnect to that DNS server?

I am, again, the issue is trying to figure out the proper redirect for netflix intercept.
