port fordward Advertised Services
Aloha
I have the hAp setup on by network sitting on my home networks DMZ I have over 100 devices, sensors, weather stations, SDR, Remote Rig Control, repeaters, streaming Audio, Police scanners ADS-b, AIS and a whole lot more.
 I don’t want to change my current setup physically. Is there a way to ADD a DNS redirect under the Advertised Services area. Where the computer name is I would like to be able to manual type in a pointer of the services already in my first firewall. At this time it only looks for devices attached to the Lan of the hAp. Maybe I’m overlooking something or if its not possible you could stop hours of web surfing.
Thanks

If your hAP ac lite has the
If your hAP ac lite has the WAN port connected to your home network, then it will already forward to resolve hostnames to your home network DNS server.   However, you'd need the home DNS sever set up and have a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) for hosts on your home network, e.g. hostname.joehomenetwork.local or such.

Another option, is to setup the Mesh node's LAN to be the same 192.168.x.x subnet as your home network -- NAT option.  The home network is connected to a LAN port -- this munges together the mesh node's LAN with your home network.   Turn LAN DHCP off, on the node, to not conflict with your home network's DHCP,   statically define the node's IP address and reserve it on your home router.   Then you should be able to go into, setup advertise services, but need to setup port forwards into this NAT and home network LAN.    

Because this node's LAN network and your home network are behind a NAT, to the rest of the mesh network, only your node's hostname needs to be known across the mesh.   the port forward of a service defines what IP address on your home network the traffic needs to go to.
