override internal DNS FQDN for netbird clients

[ez1976]

Hello. when i install a netbird client on a laptop or a server, it has a default hostname.netbird.local domain that works of course. but since most companies have sub and sub sub domains, the remote user will ping the regular dns fqdn it gets from the local dns and it will resolve to the internal company ip. it would be best if any netbird agent installed , i can change the internal FQDN hostname that netbird queries so if i am connected to netbird any queries to the servers that has netbird agent, will return the netbird IP with the override FQDN.

BUT... if this is implemented keep in mind that most servers are installed using server keys, so it would be best to add a parameter so we can run the command and specify the override fqdn directly with registering it.

for example: netbird up --management-url https://my.netbird.domain:33073 --setup-key 'XXXXXXXX' --fqdn "server.it.internal.domain"

the best way (in my opinion) is to use the internal hosts file which is queried before dns. so the entry should be 100.120.192.26 gitlab-il.it.qwilt.com #netbird manual fqdn

then when the client disconnects, you just remove all entries in the hosts file that has #netbird that way any netbird clients can use the company's internal fqdn of the server but will access it via netbird's IP
