DNS and beyond

Hi, I just saw the "5 DNS Servers Every Home Lab Should Know About (2026 Guide)" video. And I like that you prefer Technitium, as I do.

I had some requirements, so I made some enhancements to the standard Technitium. But during that process, I discovered that some other things are missing in my homelab, so I started to build those. I like to hear your thoughts on that. It all runs in two of my environments (and it runs without flaws), and I'm actively continuing to develop it; mainly, I integrated all three components into one suite, and remove the initial strong opinions:

There is ovn-fabric https://github.com/mabels/ovn-fabric, an IP router with a new approach.

There is technitium dns https://github.com/mabels/unified-dns-dhcp-chart.

And https://github.com/mabels/mseg-tester, which is a full-stack test-applicance for multiple segments/SSIDs.

To all, I have some write-ups that cover the story behind it and some of my learnings; you will find them in the README.md files.
