Hi Franco,

yes, the two cases might be related, although mine is closely bound to the PPPOE reconnect. After that the DHCP leases disappear from DNS.

I am not using IPv6. IPv6 configuration at the interface level is set to none on all interfaces.

In the log I discovered the following error messages: dhcpleases:

Code Select Expand

kqueue error: unknown

It seem like they appear from the point where DHCP leases disappear up the time when i restart the DNS resolver.

Taking the case you mentioned, I wonder whether DNS resolver gets a new PID after PPPOE disconnects and DHCP leases daemon doesn't find it anymore ? I have seen this message:

Code Select Expand

dhcpleases: Could not deliver signal HUP to process because its pidfile does not exist, No such process.

but only once.

Hi,

There is topic that bugs me since a while, not sure whether I have something misconfigured or whether it is a real bug.

I am the DHCP service and the DNS resolver. The DHCP leases are registered into DNS, which works pretty well, but after a while they disappear and the DNS resolver doesn't provide answers anymore. After restarting the DNS service it works again.

It used to happen once a day and it took me a while to notice that it seem to be related to the daily PPPOE reset of the internet connection.

I just checked the

Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver
Register DHCP static mappings in the DNS Resolver

options at the DNS Resolver page.

If I need to provide some logs etc. just let me know.

Hi Franco,

Looks good, the long IPs are there now. And also the reverse lookup of long IPs works properly now.

Thanks You !

Hi Franco,

I installed 15.7.24 and checked the traffic graphs again. No change. But I made an observation that may help.

There are two shorter IP-addresses in the network. When changing the display to Hostname or FQDN, the shorter ones get a proper reverse DNS resolution, but the longer ones don't. Also longer names are displayed completely, but the long ip-addresses aren't. It looks like the truncation happens somewhere in the data and not in the frontend.

Cheers,

Andreas

Hi Franco,

I am more a gui-user and not sure how to get the development version installed, but will update to 15.7.24 tomorrow evening and provide feedback.

Thanks for trying to fix.

Cheers

Hi,

Sorry for not responding earlier. I thought I had notifications enabled on this forum/topic, but didn't receive any, so thought this topic was dead.

In my case IP's are still truncated, a screenshot is attached.

The browser I am using is Safari on a Mac, after reading the posts I also tried Chrome and used another user on the firewall, but no change.

Maybe it is worth noting, that I changed the interface to LAN ?!

Hi,

I used the "Status: Traffic Graph" today to analyze network behavior and it looks like "Hostname or IP"  field truncates the last digit of an ip if all 4 bytes need three digits (running 15.7.14).

BTW: Very nice and promising project
