Is it possible to properly hide DNS records?
Hello everyone,
I come looking for the right solution, if such thing is even really possible:
For example lets say I provide some service so customers (which are companies), my service name is "whatever" and I have some servers/environemnts in 3 different locations.
Each customer needs to be directed to the right environment by a subdomain they have:
like imagine if I have Abibas as an EU based customer
And Nyke as a US based customer
Because of that, I want the subdomain abibas.portal.whatever.com to point to my EU environment, since they are EU based.
And the nyke.portal.whatever.com to point to my US environment since they are US based, and so on.
Imagine I have many many more customers like that, each with a subdomain under my domain, unique to them, to use to direct them to the relevant environment (It should be mentioned - there can be workers in the US that work for abibas and will need to connect to the EU server, since the company is based there
and vice versa.. that's why only need the subdomain to point to the relevant environment).
My greatest concern in this whole sitaution, is that I don't want my customers' names to be exposed in any way through the DNS records, to any "dig" requests or anything of that sort.
So my big question is, is there a way to hide records to avoid exposing the customer's names? (notice the main concern is not preventing any hacking or whatever, but at the very base, to not disclose which customers are using my service, to hide the names)
Is there a way to only expose for example a wildcard at most and not anything under *.portal.whatever.com?
If you have any idea please let me know what it would require and if possible also how to do it
I hope it is understandable enough and makes sense.
Thanks a lot for checking this out!
