DHCP leases missing in DNS resolver

[aks]

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.

Cheers

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Could this be your issue? https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/435

Are you also using a hybrid setup (v4 and v6)?

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.
