19.1 Legacy Series / Re: How do i add DNS entries for LAN systems?

I managed to accomplish this by enabling 'Register DHCP static mappings ' under 'Unbound DNS->General'.

Caveat: I'm new to opnsense too

19.1 Legacy Series / Re: nsupdate with key to a BIND server

« on: April 08, 2019, 04:06:54 pm »

That was it.

I ran into a minor issue adding a new entry, it kept complaining about invalid characters in my DNS key name. Turns out it didn't like the fact that my key name has a trailing dot. I removed it from both opnsense and my named.conf and it went through fine.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention in case it's an issue. I can't seem to find anything that indicates it would cause an issue (or noncompliance with RFC) one way or another. Just an old habit of mine from years of dealing with bind.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

19.1 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] nsupdate with key to a BIND server

« on: April 03, 2019, 10:58:16 pm »

Hello,

I'm new to opnsense.

I'm asking if it's possible to run 'nsupdate' (using keys) to a bind server as a custom dyndns option. I looked into the custom settings but it seems it prefers to do the update using HTTP authentication instead.

If it's not an option, I am okay writing a custom startup? script but how does one reference the WAN IP?

I envision nsupdate running everytime my WAN IP changes and during router startup.

Thanks in advance
