feat(dns-cluster): replicate Technitium production to netinfra pair

Set up a fully scripted, documented Technitium DNS cluster that
replicates the production instance from tailscale-router to
pfv-netinfra-01 (primary) and pfv-netinfra-02 (secondary).

What it does:
- EXPORT: reads the production Technitium config (auth.config with
  users + 2FA, dns.config, all 124 zones, scopes, apps) from the Docker
  volume on tailscale-router via a piped tar (zero disk writes on
  production — strictly read-only).
- DEPLOY: restores the exported config to both netinfra nodes, replacing
  their existing config (backed up first). Both nodes become identical
  production clones with the same admin credentials and 2FA.
- CLUSTER: enables zone transfer (zoneTransfer=Allow) on the primary
  via the Technitium API (using a temporary admin, then restoring the
  production auth.config). Installs rsync-based zone replication from
  primary to secondary via a systemd timer (every 60s), since Technitium
  AXFR uses port 53 which is occupied by Pi-hole on these hosts.
- VERIFY: comprehensive 10-section test suite covering container health,
  API, zone counts, record parity, external resolution, reverse DNS,
  production safety, failover, and credential replication.

Scripts:
- remote-dns.sh: SSH chokepoint for all DNS host access
- setup.sh: master orchestrator (export → deploy → cluster → verify)
- sync-zones.sh: rsync-based zone replication (installed as systemd timer)
- verify.sh: 10-section verification suite

Safety:
- tailscale-router is NEVER modified (read-only export only)
- Production auth.config is backed up before any temporary admin swap
- Each node's existing config is backed up before replacement
- The export tarball is gitignored (contains production credentials)

 # Agent Guidelines
 
+## Repository Layout
+
+Knowing where things live prevents broken edits:
+
+- **Vendored framework**: `KNELShellFramework` lives at
+  `vendor/git@git.knownelement.com/29418/KNEL/KNELShellFramework/`, **not** at
+  the repo root. Its includes are under `Framework-Includes/` there. Never
+  assume `./Framework-Includes` exists relative to the repo root.
+- **Self-locating scripts**: All provisioning scripts derive their own
+  location via `BASH_SOURCE` and compute `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH` from it. They must
+  **never** depend on the current working directory or on `cd`/`realpath ..`
+  chains. Run them from anywhere — `sudo bash SetupNewSystem.sh` works.
+- **Local config files are the source of truth**: Configs in
+  `ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/` are read with `cat`/`cp`. Do **not** re-introduce
+  `curl ${DL_ROOT}/...` downloads from `dl.knownelement.com` — that CDN is
+  deprecated for this repo.
+- **Path variables**: Scripts export `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH`, `CONFIGFILES_PATH`,
+  `MODULES_PATH`, `SCRIPTS_PATH`, and `AGENTS_PATH` for locating repo content.
+- **Non-bash agents**: Some files under `ProjectCode/Agents/` carry a `.sh`
+  extension but are PHP (e.g. `mysql.sh`, shebang `#!/usr/bin/php`). Syntax
+  checkers must skip these.

+## Autonomous Git Workflow
 
-**NEVER wait to be asked to commit and push your work.**
-**Commit immediately after each logical unit of work.**
+**Agents are authorized to commit AND push autonomously. Do not wait to be
+asked.** After each logical unit of work:
+
+1. Stage only the files belonging to that logical change.
+2. Commit with a conventional, well-formed message (see above).
+3. Push to `origin` (`git push`). The branch tracks `origin/main`.
+4. Repeat per logical unit.
+
+Group changes so each commit is coherent on its own (a reader should
+understand the commit without seeing the others). Never batch unrelated
+changes into one commit.

+# vm-validation.sh
+#
+# End-to-end validation driver for KNELServerBuild on a sandbox VM.
+#
+# This script drives a Proxmox VM through: snapshot -> deploy -> validate, with
+# one-command rollback. It is designed to be re-run after code fixes are pushed.
+#
+# DESIGN: deployment is GIT-BASED. The VM clones (or pulls) the public repo
+# itself, exactly as a real fresh server would — so the result is identical no
+# matter who runs this script (no reliance on a local working copy or rsync).
+# All SSH/SCP access goes through Project-Tests/remote.sh; never call ssh here.
+#
+# USAGE:
+#   # Discover the numeric VMID on Proxmox:
+#   ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh find-vmid
+#
+#   # Full loop (snapshot + deploy + validate), auto-rollback on failure:
+#   VM_ID=6000 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh all
+#
+#   # Individual steps:
+#   VM_ID=6000 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh snapshot
+#   VM_ID=6000 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh deploy
+#   VM_ID=6000 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh validate
+#   VM_ID=6000 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh rollback [snapshot-name]
+#
+#   # Clean re-deploy from scratch (delete + re-clone on VM):
+#   VM_ID=6000 CLEAN_CLONE=1 ./Project-Tests/vm-validation.sh deploy
+#
+# CONFIG (override via env, all have sensible defaults):
+#   PROX_HOST    Proxmox node hostname            (default: pfv-tsys5)
+#   PROX_USER    SSH user on Proxmox              (default: root)
+#   VM_NAME      VM name for VMID lookup/logging  (default: sectestbed-sandbox)
+#   VM_IP        VM IP for SSH                    (default: 192.168.3.50)
+#   VM_USER      SSH user on the VM               (default: localuser)
+#   VM_ID        Numeric VMID on Proxmox          (REQUIRED except for find-vmid)
+#   REPO_URL     git URL the VM clones            (default: https://git.knownelement.com/KNEL/KNELServerBuild.git)
+#   REMOTE_REPO  clone dir under ~$VM_USER        (default: KNELServerBuild)

+# Tailscale vs. Managed DNS — Architecture Analysis
+
+> **Status:** analysis for review. No code decisions are final. Read the
+> "Known issues" section before acting on the managed-resolv.conf change.
+
+## 1. Executive summary
+
+Every host in this build runs the Tailscale client, and Tailscale — by default —
+**manages `/etc/resolv.conf` itself**, pointing it at `100.100.100.100`
+(Tailscale's MagicDNS resolver). This directly conflicts with the managed
+`resolv.conf` (pointing at `192.168.3.252`/`192.168.3.253`) that
+`SetupNewSystem.sh` deploys: whichever runs last wins, and Tailscale's daemon
+re-wins on every `tailscale up` and on reboot.
+
+Worse, a probe of the live network shows that **knel.net device records only
+resolve through the Tailscale 100.100.100.100 path** — querying the LAN IPs of
+the DNS servers directly returns NXDOMAIN for current hostnames (the Technitium
+`knel.net` zone has the SOA but is stale/empty of actual records). So pointing
+`resolv.conf` at the LAN IPs would break resolution of the very names this
+project's modules depend on (`tsys-nsm.knel.net`, `tsys-cloudron.knel.net`,
+`tsys-librenms.knel.net`).
+
+This document lays out the options and a recommended path forward.
+
+## 2. How name resolution actually works today (as measured)
+
+Probed from `sectestbed-sandbox` (192.168.3.50):
+
+| Query path | External name (`github.com`) | knel.net device name (`pfv-netinfra-01.knel.net`) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Via current resolver = `100.100.100.100` (Tailscale) | resolves | **resolves** → `100.70.181.72` (Tailscale CGNAT) |
+| Direct `dig @192.168.3.252` (Technitium, LAN) | resolves (recurses) | **NXDOMAIN** (SOA present, no record) |
+| Direct `dig @192.168.3.253` (Pi-hole, LAN) | resolves (recurses) | **NXDOMAIN** (SOA present, no record) |
+
+Other measured facts:
+
+- `dig @192.168.3.252 knel.net SOA` → `NOERROR`, returns
+  `knel.net. 900 IN SOA dns.knel.net. hostadmin.knel.net. 2025062313 …`
+  (serial dated **2025-06-23** — the zone exists but is stale).
+- NTP on both `.252` and `.253` answers time queries (stratum 2/3).
+- The live `/etc/resolv.conf` on a deployed host reads:
+  ```
+  # resolv.conf(5) file generated by tailscale
+  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
+  nameserver 100.100.100.100
+  nameserver fd7a:115c:a1e0::53
+  search knel.net
+  ```
+
+**Interpretation:** the `knel.net` device→Tailscale-IP mappings are synthesised
+by Tailscale's MagicDNS from the tailnet device registry (every device that
+joins the tailnet gets `hostname.knel.net` → its `100.x.x.x` address). The
+Technitium `knel.net` zone is a separate, manually-maintained zone that has
+fallen out of date. The two are not the same source of truth.
+
+## 3. The core tension
+
+| Goal | Who provides it today |
+|---|---|
+| Resolve `*.knel.net` device names (→ Tailscale IPs) | Tailscale MagicDNS via `100.100.100.100` |
+| Resolve external names with ad-blocking | Pi-hole (`.253`), reachable via Tailscale → Technitium → Pi-hole chain |
+| Redundant, low-latency, tunnel-independent DNS | LAN resolvers `.252`/`.253` — **but these lack knel.net records** |
+| Authoritative time | NTP on `.252`/`.253` (works on either path) |
+
+The conflict: you cannot simply point `resolv.conf` at the LAN resolvers,
+because they do not know about the current `knel.net` device records, and
+several modules in this project resolve `knel.net` hostnames at runtime
+(wazuh manager, postfix relay, syslog target). You also cannot ignore Tailscale,
+because it is the only thing that resolves those names today.
+
+## 4. Options
+
+### Option A — Let Tailscale own DNS (status quo, `accept-dns=true`)
+
+Leave the default. Tailscale writes `100.100.100.100` to `resolv.conf`; the
+control-plane forwarding (`100.100.100.100` → Technitium → Pi-hole) handles
+external names and ad-blocking; MagicDNS handles `knel.net` device names.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|
+| Zero per-host config; new machines "just work" on `tailscale up` | **All DNS depends on the Tailscale daemon being up.** If `tailscaled` dies, every name lookup fails — including the ones you need to SSH in and fix it. |
+| MagicDNS + knel.net names resolve automatically | Latency: every query goes host→tailscaled→100.100.100.100→(tunnel)→Technitium→Pi-hole→upstream |
+| Ad-blocking preserved (via the Pi-hole hop) | Overwrites the managed `resolv.conf` — the `.252`/`.253` redundancy is lost |
+| Centralised in the Tailscale admin console | Single resolver in `resolv.conf` (`100.100.100.100`); no glibc-level failover |
+| | Boot-order risk: early-boot processes have no DNS until `tailscaled` is up |
+
+### Option B — Pin resolv.conf to the LAN resolvers (`accept-dns=false`)
+
+Set `--accept-dns=false` on every host and keep the managed `resolv.conf`
+pointing at `.252`/`.253`.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|
+| DNS independent of Tailscale — survives `tailscaled` outages | **`*.knel.net` device names break (NXDOMAIN)** because the LAN resolvers' knel.net zone is stale. This breaks wazuh/postfix/syslog hostname resolution. |
+| Lowest latency, full glibc-level failover across two servers | MagicDNS names (`*.ts.net`) do not resolve |
+| Managed `resolv.conf` wins uncontested | Requires fixing the Technitium/Pi-hole `knel.net` zone to mirror the Tailscale device records before this is viable |
+| Boot-time DNS works immediately | Off-LAN hosts (laptops) can't reach `.252`/`.253` without the tunnel — back to needing Tailscale |
+
+> **Not recommended as-is.** Only viable **after** the `knel.net` zone on
+> `.252`/`.253` is repopulated with current device records (see §6).
+
+### Option C — Tailscale Split DNS (per-domain routing)
+
+MagicDNS `ON`, "Override local DNS" `OFF` in the admin console; only `ts.net`
+(and explicitly split domains) route to `100.100.100.100`, everything else stays
+on the system resolver.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|
+| Best of both worlds: MagicDNS names resolve AND general queries go direct | Requires `systemd-resolved` (or NetworkManager `dns=dnsmasq`) for per-domain routing. These hosts use a **plain `/etc/resolv.conf`** — on which Tailscale **cannot** do per-domain split; it replaces the whole file. |
+| Reduces tunnel dependency for non-Tailscale names | Migrating every host to `systemd-resolved` is a significant, cross-cutting change |
+| | More moving parts to reason about and debug |
+
+### Option D — Make Tailscale push the LAN resolvers as global nameservers
+
+In the admin console, set global nameservers to `192.168.3.252`/`192.168.3.253`,
+keep `accept-dns=true`.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|
+| Clients get the LAN resolvers via Tailscale config (consistent) | Tailscale still overwrites `resolv.conf` |
+| MagicDNS still works (100.100.100.100 added for `ts.net`/`knel.net`) | On-LAN hosts don't need Tailscale to find `.252`/`.253` — pure indirection |
+| Centralised management | Still depends on `tailscaled` for DNS |
+| | `knel.net` device names still only resolve via the Tailscale path, so the LAN resolvers being "global" doesn't help those names unless the zone is fixed |
+
+## 5. Recommendation
+
+**Short term (unblock now): Option A — let Tailscale own DNS.** Revert/disable
+the managed-`resolv.conf` deployment so provisioning stops fighting Tailscale.
+Today, `knel.net` device names **only** resolve through Tailscale, and this
+project's modules depend on those names, so Tailscale-managed DNS is the only
+thing that currently works end-to-end. Keep the NTP change (LAN IPs, no DNS
+dependency) — that part is safe and beneficial regardless.
+
+**Medium term (the real fix): populate the `knel.net` zone on the LAN
+resolvers**, then choose B or C. Concretely:
+
+1. Make Technitium (`.252`) authoritative for `knel.net` **with current records**
+   (mirror the Tailscale device→IP mappings, or enable a zone-transfer/sync from
+   the Tailscale device registry, or use Technitium's "Tailscale" DNS app if
+   available). Confirm `dig @192.168.3.252 pfv-netinfra-01.knel.net` returns an
+   answer, not NXDOMAIN.
+2. Make Pi-hole (`.253`) forward `knel.net` to Technitium (or also serve the
+   zone), so both resolvers in the pair can answer internal names — otherwise
+   glibc failover to `.253` would silently break knel.net lookups.
+3. *Then* pin `resolv.conf` to `.252`/`.253` with `--accept-dns=false`
+   (Option B), gaining tunnel-independent, redundant DNS.
+
+**Long term (optional, if per-domain routing is wanted): Option C** — adopt
+`systemd-resolved` and configure Tailscale Split DNS so `ts.net`/`knel.net` go
+to MagicDNS and everything else goes direct. Only worth the migration cost if
+you specifically need `*.ts.net` short-name resolution alongside direct LAN DNS.
+
+### Why not just force `.252`/`.253` today?
+
+Because it regresses name resolution for the hostnames this project already
+uses. Concretely, with `resolv.conf` pinned to the LAN resolvers the following
+would fail to resolve:
+
+- `ProjectCode/Modules/Security/secharden-wazuh.sh` → `WAZUH_MANAGER="tsys-nsm.knel.net"`
+- `ProjectCode/SetupNewSystem.sh` → `postconf -e "relayhost = tsys-cloudron.knel.net"`
+- `ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/Syslog/rsyslog.conf` → `*.* @tsys-librenms.knel.net:514`
+
+All three resolve cleanly via `100.100.100.100` today and return NXDOMAIN via
+`.252`/`.253`. Pinning the LAN resolvers before the zone is fixed would break
+wazuh, mail relay, and syslog.
+
+## 6. Known issues / action items
+
+1. **Technitium `knel.net` zone is stale.** SOA serial `2025062313`
+   (2025-06-23); current device names return NXDOMAIN from the LAN interface.
+   Action: repopulate the zone (mirror Tailscale device records) and bump the
+   serial.
+2. **Pi-hole (`.253`) has no `knel.net` device records either.** For the pair
+   to be truly redundant for internal names, `.253` must either serve the same
+   zone or conditional-forward `knel.net` to `.252`. Action: configure Pi-hole
+   to forward `knel.net` to Technitium.
+3. **The managed-`resolv.conf` change (commit f010fa9) conflicts with
+   Tailscale.** As written, `SetupNewSystem.sh` writes `resolv.conf` with
+   `.252`/`.253`, but `tailscaled` overwrites it on the next `tailscale up` /
+   reboot — and even when our file wins transiently, knel.net names break. See
+   §5 for the recommended handling.
+4. **NTP change is safe and good.** `ntp.conf` now uses LAN IPs
+   (`192.168.3.252`/`192.168.3.253`, `iburst`) directly — no DNS dependency, so
+   it works under both the Tailscale-managed and the LAN-pinned resolver
+   configurations. Keep this regardless of the DNS decision.
+5. **Split-horizon possibility (unconfirmed).** It is possible Technitium serves
+   a richer `knel.net` zone on its Tailscale interface (`100.x`) than on its LAN
+   interface (`192.168.3.252`). If so, the fix is to make the LAN view match the
+   Tailscale view. Worth confirming with `dig @<technitium-tailscale-ip> knel.net host`.
+
+## 7. Implementation guidance (once the zone is fixed)
+
+When you are ready to move to tunnel-independent DNS (Option B):
+
+1. In provisioning, after `tailscale up`, set `--accept-dns=false`:
+   ```bash
+   tailscale up --accept-dns=false …
+   ```
+   Or bake it into the tailscale systemd unit via a drop-in so re-boots hold.
+2. *Then* deploy the managed `resolv.conf` (`.252`/`.253`). Order matters: Tailscale
+   first (with DNS disabled), then our file, so nothing overwrites it.
+3. Add a watchdog (timer) that restores `resolv.conf` if any process rewrites it,
+   to defend against future `tailscale up` invocations that re-enable DNS.
+4. Validate with `Project-Tests/validation/dns-ntp-redundancy.sh` — and extend
+   its probe to assert `*.knel.net` names resolve (not just external names), so
+   this regression cannot recur silently.
+
+## 8. TL;DR
+
+- **DNS**: don't fight Tailscale yet. Today `knel.net` names only resolve via
+  Tailscale, and this project depends on them. Fix the Technitium/Pi-hole
+  `knel.net` zone first, *then* pin the LAN resolvers.
+- **NTP**: the LAN-IP change is correct and safe; keep it.
+- **The managed `resolv.conf` (`.252`/`.253`) as currently committed will be
+  overwritten by Tailscale and, if it ever sticks, breaks knel.net resolution —
+  see §5/§6 before relying on it.**

+
+### How clustering works
+
+Technitium uses standard DNS zone transfers (AXFR/IXFR) for primary/secondary
+replication, not a proprietary protocol:
+
+1. **Primary (01)** holds all zones as authoritative primary zones.
+2. **Secondary (02)** holds each zone as a secondary zone configured with
+   `primaryServer=192.168.3.252:5300`.
+3. On startup, the secondary immediately AXFRs the full zone from the primary.
+4. On subsequent record changes, the primary sends a **DNS NOTIFY** to the
+   secondary, which triggers an **IXFR** (incremental transfer).
+5. If the primary is down, the secondary continues serving the last-known zone
+   data independently.
+
+### Credentials and 2FA
+
+The production `auth.config` (containing all user accounts, passwords, and 2FA
+secrets) is copied verbatim to both nodes. This means:
+
+- The **same username, password, and 2FA device** work on all three servers.
+- The web console is at `http://<host>:5380/` on each node.
+- No credential changes are needed.
+
+During the clustering configuration step, a temporary admin password is used
+briefly (to access the API without 2FA), then the production `auth.config` is
+restored. See "Security notes" below.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SSH key access to all hosts as `localuser` with passwordless sudo.
+- The `remote-dns.sh` wrapper must be able to reach all hosts via Tailscale FQDN.
+- Docker + Docker Compose on netinfra-01/02 (already installed).
+- The production Technitium on tailscale-router must be running.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+cd dns-cluster-setup/
+
+# Step-by-step (recommended for first run):
+./setup.sh export      # 1. Export config from tailscale-router (READ-ONLY)
+./setup.sh deploy01    # 2. Deploy to netinfra-01 as primary
+./setup.sh deploy02    # 3. Deploy to netinfra-02 as secondary clone
+./setup.sh cluster     # 4. Configure clustering (01→02 zone transfers)
+./setup.sh verify      # 5. Run all verification tests
+
+# Or all at once:
+./setup.sh all
+```
+
+### Configuration overrides
+
+All defaults can be overridden via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `PRIMARY_IP` | `192.168.3.252` | netinfra-01 LAN IP |
+| `SECONDARY_IP` | `192.168.3.253` | netinfra-02 LAN IP |
+| `TECH_PORT` | `5300` | Technitium DNS port on host (from compose mapping) |
+| `CONFIG_DIR` | `/home/localuser/services/technitium/config` | Config bind-mount dir |
+| `COMPOSE_FILE` | `/home/localuser/services/technitium/docker-compose.yml` | Compose file |
+| `TEMP_ADMIN_PW` | `KnelClusterSetup!2026` | Temp admin password (used only during clustering, then discarded) |
+
+## Scripts
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `remote-dns.sh` | SSH/SCP chokepoint for all DNS host access (tsrouter, netinfra01, netinfra02, netboot, sandbox) |
+| `setup.sh` | Master orchestrator: export → deploy → cluster → verify |
+| `verify.sh` | Comprehensive 10-section verification suite |
+| `discover*.sh` | Read-only discovery probes (used during development, safe to keep) |
+
+## What gets copied
+
+From production `/etc/dns/` (inside the container), **excluding** runtime data:
+
+| Copied (configuration) | Excluded (runtime) |
+|---|---|
+| `auth.config` (users, passwords, 2FA) | `cache.bin` (DNS cache) |
+| `dns.config` (server settings) | `stats/` (query statistics) |
+| `webservice.config` (web console) | `logs/` (log files) |
+| `allowed.config` (zone transfer ACL) | |
+| `blocked.config` (blocked domains) | |
+| `blocklist.config` (blocklist settings) | |
+| `blocklists/` (blocklist data) | |
+| `zones/` (all 124 zone files) | |
+| `scopes/` (DHCP scopes) | |
+| `apps/` (Technitium apps) | |
+
+## Verification tests
+
+The `verify.sh` script runs 10 categories of tests:
+
+1. **Container health** — both Technitium containers are Up
+2. **API responds** — web console API is reachable on both nodes
+3. **Zone count** — primary matches production; secondary matches primary
+4. **Forward DNS** — known knel.net records resolve identically on both nodes
+5. **External DNS** — both nodes can resolve external domains (github.com)
+6. **Zone transfer (AXFR)** — secondary can AXFR knel.net from primary
+7. **Reverse DNS** — PTR zones have SOA records on both nodes
+8. **Production untouched** — container still running, zone count unchanged
+9. **Failover** — secondary serves SOA independently (no primary dependency)
+10. **Credentials** — `auth.config` byte-size matches across all three nodes
+
+## Security notes
+
+- **tailscale-router is never modified.** The only operation is `docker cp`
+  (read) to export the config. No writes, no restarts, no config changes.
+- The temporary admin password (`TEMP_ADMIN_PW`) exists only during the
+  clustering step. After configuration, the production `auth.config` (with 2FA)
+  is restored. The temp password is never persisted.
+- The export tarball (`.export/technitium-production-config.tar.gz`) contains
+  production credentials. It is in `.gitignore` and should be deleted after
+  setup: `rm -rf dns-cluster-setup/.export/`
+- Each node's existing config is backed up to `config.backup-<timestamp>` before
+  replacement, so the change is reversible.
+
+## Recovery
+
+If something goes wrong, each node has a backup:
+
+```bash
+# On netinfra-01 or netinfra-02:
+cd /home/localuser/services/technitium/
+docker compose down
+mv config config.failed
+mv config.backup-<timestamp> config
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Validation on sandbox
+
+After cluster setup, validate that client hosts use the pair correctly:
+
+```bash
+# From sectestbed-sandbox (or any client):
+# Query primary directly:
+dig @192.168.3.252 pfv-netinfra-01.knel.net
+
+# Query secondary directly:
+dig @192.168.3.253 pfv-netinfra-01.knel.net
+
+# Both should return the same answer.
+```
+
+The KNELServerBuild provisioning code (`ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/NTP/ntp.conf`
+and `ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/Resolv/resolv.conf`) points clients at both
+servers for DNS and NTP redundancy. See `ProjectDocs/tailscale.md` for the
+full DNS architecture analysis.
