Let me start by saying I barely have enough network expertise to run opnsense. So, I'm likely missing something very obvious.
I have a small network with 11 nodes with static IPs. Two of those nodes go through wireguard to a VPN service with a kill switch.
This morning I moved my DHCP from ISC to Dnsmasq and it's working pretty well. However, there a couple minor issues.
- I have a laptop that sometimes goes through a wired connection and other times goes wireless. I put the MAC addresses for the wired and wireless network adapters in the host record but, only the wired connection gets the IP address in the host record. Oddly enough, when I connect wirelessly and look at the lease entry for the laptop, it shows that it's a static IP even though the IP is not in my static range and it's not the IP in the host record.
- For the nodes that go through wireguard, I need to specify the vendor's DNS server. In ISC I was able to specify that in the static lease entries. There's no equivalent in dnsmasq host entries. Is there somewhere else I can do this? Right now, I've put the DNS address in the network configuration on the individual nodes and that does what I need. However, since the wireguard config is on Opnsense, it would be cleaner to do it there.
Neither one of these is a showstopper but, they are a bit bothersome. An help would be appreciated.
