Yes that's what you can use the tailscale subnet routing for - one some machine on the lan, that joins the tailnet, you configure it up to route to local subnets
That's great. Can I set the subnet router to use my local DNS? So service.mydomain.com will still route appropriately?
Yeah you should be able to set a custom dns for your whole tailnet I think, going by memory. I know I've had some issues but just try it, it's quite fast to set up :)
Related question on the local subnets - I currently have Tailscale set up on my home server, phone, and laptop. However, it’s a little annoying that apps on my phone (like Synology Drive) should reference local IPs when on my LAN and then Tailscale IPs when outside of my home. Would you recommend setting up an alternate device at home (like Raspberry Pi) to function as a subnet router for Tailscale so that I can just use my local IPs no matter where I am? Is there any benefit to installing Tailscale on every device vs using a single subnet router for the entire home network?
You can try having the same hostname resolve on the lan to the local IP and only connect using that first part of the addess, having dns suffixes do the heavy lifting
