What does a Static DNS entry do on a managed switch
So I have read the manual, but if someon could explain in a non-network guys terminology it would help me out a great deal. As stated above I have a GC752X Inisght managed switch. Page 59 in the manu...
Well, the only DNS query happening is for the "web.ddns.net" - from here you hit some NAT or port forwarding to a LAN IP and no more DNS query will happen on the LAN.
The only noteable exception might be if you run some load balancer or application proxy which can work internally on internal FQDNs.

ok, so it seems I wont be able to get the NetGear switch to do what I'm looking for, but in case anyone else has something like this in mind, I just set the DNS on the switch to use my PiHole server, and adjusted the PiHole Server host file with the internal entries and all is well. tested that my external is still working as expected using the DDNS.net address.
Thanks schumaku for the help earlier, I be slowly learning netowrk crap!
