Title: dnsmasq not picking up IPv6 hostnames?
Post by: compunction on May 23, 2017, 08:00:57 pm
Hello all, I am new to OPNsense and this is the first time I am plying with IPv6.  I want to write firewall rules based on hostname.  Therefore I want to make sure my hosts IPv6 address is in DNS.  I have IPv4 working as expected, but the IPv6 addresses are not showing up in DNS.  I do see dnsmasq listeing on my IPv6 space with this command line argument --listen-address=2602:306:<removed>, but no IPv6 addresses in /var/etc/dnsmasq-hosts.  I was looking for a guide on the wiki, but I do not see one :(.  What are I missing...

Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark,

IPv6 static leases from the internal DHCPv6 server are picked up correctly, but dynamic leases aren't like their IPv4 counterpart.

I don't know if that is a shortcoming of the lease management of DHCPv6 or if this was simply forgotten. I'll add a ticket and check this out as soon as I can.
