A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…).
So I forked grimd and embarked on rewriting a good chunk of it for it to address my needs - the result is leng.
I have been running it as my nameserver in a Nomad cluster since! I plan to keep maintaining and improving it, so feel free to give it a try if it also fulfils your needs

It’s based on dnsmasq. You could always specify custom records, even before there was an option in the web interface. Just create a config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d
Just look up these options: host-record cname srv-host
Thanks! I didn’t know you could do that. I’ll see how it compares to my current solution
