headscale: move the tailnet to orbit.sol, route all DNS through pihole
Three connected changes, all triggered by the same outage. base_domain leaves mgaction.town. That zone has a wildcard A+AAAA pointing at neptun, and DNS wildcards match multi-label names, so jupiter.hosts.mgaction.town resolved publicly to NEPTUN and Caddy proxied to itself -- a silent loop rather than a lookup failure. Nesting the tailnet inside the LAN domain as orbit.sol keeps the theme and resolves unambiguously, since tailscale matches routes by longest suffix. override_local_dns = true with pihole as the only global nameserver, so roaming devices get ad blocking and .sol names off-LAN. With it false, globalResolvers land in the netmap's FallbackResolvers, which a phone with carrier DNS never consults. No public fallback is listed on purpose: tailscale treats the list as a set, so a second entry would let queries slip past the filter whenever mercury is slow. The cost is that mercury is now a single point of failure for tailnet DNS. neptun and mercury opt out individually. mercury would otherwise resolve through itself. neptun must not depend on a Pi behind a domestic line to renew the certificates for the control server every other node needs -- and it is circular besides, since tailscaled has to resolve vpn.mgaction.town to connect at all. Instead neptun runs a dnsmasq stub forwarding just orbit.sol to MagicDNS on 100.100.100.100, which tailscaled answers whenever it is running regardless of --accept-dns. That resolves jupiter live, so the hardcoded /etc/hosts pin is gone. Also sets dns.nameservers.split explicitly: nixpkgs renders its own dns.split option one level too high, but headscale reads dns.nameservers.split (hscontrol/types/config.go:722) and so does headplane, whose DNS page dies on the missing key with "Cannot convert undefined or null to object". The module's option is dead as written. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
