Enable registration of DHCP client names in DNS

« on: September 18, 2023, 04:18:57 pm »

Is there a part of the docs that cover this?

I know it needs a BIND9 server..

I've been trying to get it working and unsuccessful so far..

Thanks in advance

I know within dnsmasq this is a trivial feature..

But I also think there is no way to swap out isc-dhcpd for dnsmasq..

Or is there?

It works more or less out-of-the-box with unbound, see also here https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/unbound.html

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

When using unboud - the default DNS server - you just ensure the following check boxes are checked in Unbound DNS -> General:

Register DHCP Leases
and
Register DHCP Static Mappings

If not using unbound I wouldn't know.
