    And what happens when DNS inevitably falls over and I need to fix it?

    And when I’m watching IP addresses scroll by, IPv6 ones are a lot harder to read than v4

      some super gigabrained chad linux nerd will have written a tool to automatically configure it and have open sourced it.

      You could probably just use that. I think like most things in life, the answer is automation.

      DNS, by its very nature is redundant. So DNS shouldn’t just fall over. If it does, you’re doing something wrong.

      If you absolutely need to go to IP addresses, they should be documented.

      Unless DNS is outright wrong, there should not be an issue.

      For scrolling: are you staring at active log files? Who isn’t using a syslog aggregator? You can easily look up the IP of whatever device that is interesting and filter the log by that IP.
