[SOLVED] Sync of /etc/hosts in HA Configuration failure

[ornd]

Hi,

I have two opnsense instances running in a HA config with xmlrpc sync activated. The config is synced fine but it doesn't seem to be activated on the second system. For example dnsmasq and the entries inside /etc/hosts

When I add a new host in the dns forwarder (for example host01 with the ip 192.168.1.1) then it gets activated on the first gateway and the dns resolutions works fine.

gateway01, $ cat /etc/hosts:
...
192.168.1.1   host01.foo.dom host01
...

on the second gateway(02) in the web gui the host is shown but in the /etc/hosts its missing, resulting in a dns failure.

The workaround is to restart the gateway02 (the whole system, not only the service), then the entries are synced.

In addition, on the second opnsense the /etc/hosts contains duplicate entries from dhcp (pool) leases.

This doesn't look like production ready.

Any hints how to solve it?

Best regards!

Solved the problem. I moved back to pfSense.
