New DNS

This guide walks you through adding DNS in LightMesh. DNS (Domain Name System) is a critical component that associates human-readable domain names with IP addresses. It enables automatic management of DNS records, ensuring that when devices are assigned IP addresses, corresponding DNS records are created or updated. This integration simplifies network administration, reduces errors, and ensures accurate domain name resolution in a network.
