November 30, 20223 yr I've been using .local as my lan domain for services on Unraid and other things. But I ran into some issues with my Unifi network controller getting confused with clients. I went to add the local DNS record in unifi to the Unraid server and was shown an error message; "knoxx.local" is not allowed since it is reserved for Multicast DNS functionality. That lead me to start thinking that maybe me using .local could be causing problems. My Unraid server has a fixed IP of 200.88 I have a docker network, defined in Unraid and in Unifi (202.x). I have a Bitwarden server running on the Docker network with a fixed IP, 202.6. Unifi shows the KNOXX Unraid server listed under the Docker network, with the fixed IP of the Bitwarden server. The fixed IP config on Unifi is set to reserve the 200.88 IP (not the Docker network). But it is totally confused. Technically, both IP's are correct. Could it just be the Unifi system is not smart enough yet to understand that one MAC can have multiple IP's across multiple networks? I'm looking to see if anyone can suggest any tutorials on home lan networking and how I can incorporate best practices using Unifi, Unraid, PiHole etc. The closer to "for dummies" the better. Thx all !
