# dns-to-mdns
A proxy to convert normal DNS requests to mDNS requests on the local LAN while forwarding other requests upstream.
## Running
You need to pass the upstream DNS IP address on the command line
```
$ node index.js 8.8.8.8
```
To allow running as a normal user and still binding to port 53 run the following.
```
$ sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip `which node`
```
Be aware this will allow ANY nodejs app to bind to system ports.
Otherwise you can change the port that the bridge listens on by exporting the `DNS_PORT` environment variable
```
$ DNS_PORT=5300 node index.js 8.8.8.8
```
