carpanet - LDAP broken because DNS
current state: DNS exists with only basic .carpanet and one .kitteh.carpanet for libraria (which is now working as of today, turns out the VM storage expansion scripts I thought I wrote with a little AI help were actually half broken and didn't do what I thought they did.)
trying to set up youare as my LDAP server, but fighting my way through learning LDAP's terminology, as well as the commands and verbs to interface with it
I mistyped the address of the LDAP server in DNS as 10.174.10.80 instead of 10.174.0.89, so whenever I tried to do any DNS test on the LDAP server, it looked its own hostname up, found the DNS entry, and proceeded to make LDAP queries at a nonexistent server
apparently LDAP doesn't query based on hostname, it uses FQDN of the DIT, so although the hostname would have been snatched by /etc/hosts. the FQDN wasn't, so every test was pingponging around my network and both my pihole and the LDAP server had an hour cache of the old name that needed to be cleared
anyways connections are working now, although the LDAP directory is still barren
