Summary
This blog post explains how to propagate Bonjour/Rendezvous (.local addresses) to normal DNS, particularly useful for resolving addresses across subnets or VPNs. It details a simple setup using dnsmasq on a Debian system, providing Python scripts and systemd unit files to automate the process. While the script presented is functional, it lacks some features like IPv6 support and stale entry cleanup, encouraging readers to enhance it further.
