DNS

The 44Net DNS service provides name resolution and delegation for 44Net users. Most participants use it to publish hostnames for their systems, starting with a callsign-based subdomain and adding records as needed.

Getting Started

A typical DNS path on 44Net:

1. Claim a callsign-based subdomain under ampr.org.
2. Create DNS records that map hostnames to IP addresses.

This is sufficient for publishing things like web servers, gateways, remote stations, and repeaters.

• Claiming a Subdomain
• Managing Records

Running Your Own DNS

Some participants run their own DNS servers rather than relying only on the Portal.

In this approach, control of a domain is delegated to local systems, while remaining part of the ampr.org domain.

This supports automation, custom workflows, and closer integration with locally managed services.

• Setting up a Recursive Resolver on OpenBSD
