IDnsAuthoritativeRequestHandler Apps & Locally Served DNS Zones Feature

[jasonlaguidice]

First - thanks so much again for this project Shreyas!

My Technitium instance is the primary DNS server for my home network. It's not the DHCP server (and the upstream DHCP server, an Eero router, doesn't do DNS at all, it simply forwards upstream)... so I don't have reasonable options to get hostnames into Technitium for records and lookups.

The Eero does indeed have knowledge of the hostnames and you can get to them through the API. So I vibe-coded an app for Technitium that does this! And it works quite nicely.

In 15.3 you improved the locally-served zones function and, if enabled, the setting takes precedence for all local-zone lookups (including apps). This broke the app that I made... not a huge deal to disable this, especially given the scope of my installation.

From here the rest is totally open to discussion! Is it reasonable to ask for a method for apps registered as IDnsAuthoritativeRequestHandler to be able to serve local zones anyway? Is this something that should be by default? Would you prefer to just keep things the way they are (and this is okay too, honestly).

Thanks for the feedback. Will see how this can be improved to make the app work again.
