Hey All! Hope you're well. Hopefully you can help, as I'm stumped here.

I have a pve running in my homelab with one node. I have a Synology router that has their DNS server package that I host at the gateway so everything that queries DNS goes there and then forwarded on if needed. Very easy, works with the synology diskstations and a few other devices, including some VMs running on proxmox, all of which have Static reservations in the dhcp server. The only DNS not resolving is the one to the proxmox address itself. The mediawiki port 80 and the diskstation port 5001 have no issues resolving their records from dns so very confused as to why this one isn't working.

Some additional info:
- Proxmox vmbr0 set dhcp and the dhcp gateway also hosts the DNS.
- Set the A record in synology DNS server package resource record to the correct IP and gave it the name pve.website.io where website is my actual domain on an internal local network.
- In my troubleshooting I still have an SRV record also pointing to port 8006 for that site.
- In /etc/hosts I tried changing the hostname.user.local address to the fully qualified hostname pve.website.io but that didn't do anything either to I changed it back to the default setting.
- I can ping the pve.website.io address and IP and they come back fine. I can enter the console gui using the IP address:8006.
- The HTTP protocol might be dropping the packets as I am getting a refused to connect ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED from browser
- I do not have the firewall rules on the node or in the VMs running from Proxmox at this time.
- DNS Will resolve if I slap on a :8006 at the end, but the other sites do not require that additional port ID. I had hoped the SRV would correct that.
SRV Settings: pve.website.io TTL = 86400 Priority = 2, weight = 0, Port = 8006, Host/Domain = ip address of proxmox

Is there something I might be doing wrong here on the Proxmox side to allow the DNS to resolve? Thank you!

Afaik browsers don’t use SRV records for connecting. It‘s normal that you receive CONNECTION_REFUSED because PVE only supports https on port 8006. You could proxy the address through your Synology and redirect it with https scheme on port 8006.

Thank you for clarifying that about the browser. Proxy is a soon lesson haha, but that makes concrete sense since I can just redirect it through that. Much appreciated
