Pihole and Pialert not able to retrieve hostnames from OPNsense

I have OPNsense running and it seems to be running great.

I first setup Pihole to run via this guide here https://pi-hole.net/blog/2021/09/30/pi-hole-and-opnsense/#page-content and even though it says it may be outdated, it worked.  Everything was running fine.

I then enabled unbound and switched that to port 5353 directed traffic from pihole to unbound and now after running for awhile I added Pialert to the mix, however none of the hostnames populated on Pialert, so I reset everything in Pihole to see if it would repopulate there, and now I cant get hostnames to show up in either Pialert or Pihole.

The dnsmasq-hosts and dnsmasq-leases files show the hostnames correctly but nothing in pihole.  I tried with and without Advanced DNS options enabled and that did not seem to help at all.  I have also tried restarting everything, and that has not worked either.

Any help is appreciated
