Local Namespace Management with multiple subnets, Vlans, and SSID using Guest Pro

[CornfieldWin]

Simply put, I want to bridge at DNS application level 7 using dnsmasq servers, all local routers, subnets and vlans into one internal DNS protocol derived namespace without regard to external DNS on the Internet.

Note: this isn't just a specific configuration objective but rather an architectural solution. The dnsmasq configuration files contain all the specific network information augmented by /local/, server=, and servers-files=, to glue it all together. Guest Pro SSID/Vlans/subnet combinations already do 98% and just need a few dynamic configuration tweaks at start up time. Furthermore, this should extend to external generic level 3 routers and level 2 switches for devices that can run dnsmasq or equivalent.

Maybe. Let's find out or it blows up.

Not sure if you died in the middle of writing the last sentence, but if you're still around, how will these multiple routers be connected? WAN ports to main router's LAN ports? That's potentially a lot of firewalls to poke through and a lot of dnsmasq instances that aren't designed for anything too complex besides forwarding upstream.

Maybe draw a network diagram with IPs and subnets and how you think they will be connected. I don't think most people (including me) really understand what you want to do besides write walls of narrative text. No offense.
