I started using OPNsense a few months ago, and since it was a new installation, I went ahead and configured it to use the Kea DCHP server.
It appears that Unbound DNS will not populate local hostnames from the Kea reservations, which means I have to deal with everything on the network using IP addresses. I assume that either (a) I'm doing something wrong or (b) that option will be available in the future. If (a), what should I do? If (b), is there a timeframe to use for expectations?
Kea in OPNsense is a technology preview. Use ISC-DHCP to get that feature right now.
Thanks for the quick response. Since Kea has been working reliably for me with no issues at all, and having to use IP addresses is inconvenient but not a burden, I'll just wait for enhancements to work their way into releases. I continue to be impressed by how solid OPNsense is.
The "Register DHCP Static Mappings" checkbox in the General settings of Unbound DNS now populates from KEA reservations. With this, KEA now does everything I typically need for DCHP on the network. I'm sure future enhancements will add some conveniences, but for now, I'm delighted with how simple and reliable it is.
