DNS. It's always DNS
for better or worse it is, (though I don't recommend newcomers to boot up a bind server to manage their dns, pihole is probally the best starting point)
Indeed,
dnsmasqwould be much easier to handle than BIND OOTB. I have personally not come across a reason to use BIND for myself, and struggle to see its appeal out of the enterprise/enterprise-like labs, but I don't really know much about homelabbing eitherIn my (our) case we use bind to run an authoritative resolver for our domain (I am sysadmin for a uni computer society, we have our own (physical) servers)
Well, that is an enterprise-like environment. I'm curious though, why BIND over other DNS implementations? Unless you have very specific requirements I'm sure other DNS solutions would scale too
Bind is well established, got plenty of documentation, is what the previous iteration of the resolver used and on top of all that it works really well with NixOS
