Private naming for controlled systems.
HexDNS keeps internal systems discoverable inside private, on-prem, and air-gapped environments without depending on external DNS services.
Where HexDNS fits in the ecosystem.
HexDNS is P5 in the Hexmon Product Ecosystem. It is the private naming layer that keeps systems discoverable inside the perimeter.
Functional · On-Prem DNS
The private naming layer that keeps systems discoverable inside the perimeter.
HexDNS runs on HexCluster, uses HexTrust for signed zones, and lives on HexCloud infrastructure.

The naming problem HexDNS solves.
External DNS Dependency
Restricted environments need internal resolution without public DNS reliance.
Service Discovery Complexity
Private services need predictable naming and discovery.
Broken Local Routing
Systems fail when naming and routing are not controlled.
Air-Gapped Naming Needs
Offline environments need local domain control.
Private naming, built for controlled networks.
