DHCP Failover is stuck in funky states for some Interfaces/VLANs

(1/1)

pyrodex:
I've configured HA failover following https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/OPNsense_HA_Cluster_configuration as a guide.

I've got four internal interfaces:


* LAN - 192.168.14.0/23
* IoT - 192.168.24.0/23
* DMZ - 192.168.220.0/24
* GUEST - 192.168.215.0/24
The firewalls are configured as so:


* Firewall A - ALL VLANS configured as .2
* Firewall B - ALL VLANS configured as .3
The .1 for each of those VLANs mentioned above is configured as a CARP  and that is working fine.

On the DHCP side I have the .3 configured as the failover peer IP for Firewall A and for Firewall B the .2 failover peer IP is configured. All of them have 255 as the failover split right now.

When this is all setup and the sync is done I noticed some of the DHCP sync peers don't fully work. When I check sockstat for dhcp ports listening/established it seems 2 of the 4 are in a SYN_SENT state and the other 2 are established and working.

It seems the DMZ and LAN subnets are the ones in the SYN_SENT state and not working as seen here:

--- End code ---

I do know on the LAN and DMZ subnets I have "Deny unknown clients" enable but not sure if that is causing any issues but it is a weird situation and welcome any guidance and/or help.
