Homelab Hero · No. 009: your result

Hero call. 100 Hero Points.

Exactly right. The Pi on last month's backup restores your real DNS — local names and filtering included — in minutes, the public resolver sitting second covers you if the Pi stumbles, and the broken VM gets debugged after the guests leave, with nobody's dinner riding on the diagnosis.

The lesson: Restore service on the spare first. Debug the failure when the house isn't waiting.
