I am trying to add my Unraid Server to DNS to the IP of Unraid then i was going to use CNAME area as alias to point my apps to Unraid which reading up is the theory
But when i add my server or do a reverse host lookup it is not finding it ??
i have tried bearcave.local & bearcave.local.lan but now work correctly
What am i doing wrong ?
You are using two different domain names:
bearcave (the object of your nslookup) is a different domain that you have mapped in Local DNS Records - bearcave.local.lan
Additionally, you shoud not use local as your LAN name. This name is used for mDNS queries. Select another name. home.arpa is recommended by the latest applicable RFC.
My idea was to setup bearcave.lan in DNS as this is my Unraid server.
Under alias i was intending to point my containers like radarr to bearcave.lan
Hence i can point all my itemshe server and if this server has an ip change i only have to update the dns server ip.
Then the aliases would still point to the correct path
In addition to what jfb pointed out, the system you ran those nslookups from does not use Pi-hole for DNS, but a local stub resolver at 127.0.0.53.
You should check where that stub resolver is forwarding requests to.
Furthermore, that system is not allowed to connect to port 53 on 192.168.23.100.
You should check the firewall on that system, as well as on 192.168.23.100.
