Screenshots to be added.</p> </blockquote> <p>Pi-hole was already running on the cluster. It worked fine from inside the cluster and via NodePort on weird high ports. The problem was that no actual client device could use it as a DNS server, because DNS clients expect port 53 and NodePort gives you 30054.</p> <p>What started as &ldquo;just give Pi-hole a real IP&rdquo; turned into a new VLAN, a new DHCP server, firewall policy changes, switch configuration, and a Ruckus SSID. The usual homelab scope creep.</p>
