Hi!
Does Unbound restarts if "Register DHCP leases" is checked and when a new lease is registered in DHCP?
I'm in the transition from pfsense to OPNsense and this seems to be a hot potato, but rather old.., and is not solved over there. Got a link to where it was discussed, and to me (rather novice on this) it looks like a solution is given but not picked up.
BUMP! Sorry for that, but curious and can't seem to find the answer.
To clarify the question. In pfSense the unbound service restart for every host resolve update, resulting in a moment of DNS absence for clients.
This "can" be solved by updating unbound without restart. As I understand through some "python mode" or some other technique.
This a long going issue. And a solution has been proposed but not implemented.

So, does OPNsense "suffer" the same problem, restart of Unbound every time something is added/changed/removed to it?
Brgs,
Hi,
We use unbound-control to register DHCP leases on the fly:
https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/3c59ca126928542d48e5df3df7b226022918a73e/src/opnsense/scripts/dns/unbound_dhcpd.py#L57-L60
Also, 21.7 added a "cache retain" feature for unbound restart which is enabled by default to make restarts seamless in terms of not invalidating the current cache contents.

The source didn't do much for "me", looked nice though ;D pretty colours!
But your answer did! Thank you, then I know. I get a wholesome feeling that development of OPNsense is more solution and user oriented than the other product.
Soon to migrate my over complicated home network to OPNsense.
As with all things it takes time to incorporate these changes, but we try to listen to user concerns push through the difficulties when it can be solved from a core perspective.
Good luck with your migration. :)
Cheers,
Franco
