[SOLVED] static dhcp lease domain issues in dnsmasq

[gadgetguy]

Part of this was mentioned in the 25.1 Series but wasn't answered. @IsaacFL https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=47963.0


In Dnsmasq, the static mappings are set in hosts tab and are present in the /var/etc/dnsmasq-hosts, but they dont show the FQDN in /var/db/dnsmasq.leases and won't do an internal lookup successfully.

In Unbound, the "Register DHCP Static Mappings" option is checked

I am finding the forum comments and documentation a bit confusing on this. 

• I have some items in the hosts list without the host name or domain and others with the host name and domain (as a test). The entries without a name or domain pick up the device name, but not the domain for the leases. The others show the host name but nothing in the domain
• I have DHCP ranges with the domain defined (xyz.internal, abc.internal, etc.). And some the devices are in the range and some not.  [Mixed comments on what is needed in forum topics.]
• I have added the domain-name(15) in the DHCP options

Most everything else is functional -- traffic flow is good, dhcp assignments work, dhcp options work properly (except domain name).

Incomplete setup.  Needed Unbound DNS query forwarding for Internal addresses.

The FQDN do not show in the /var/db/dnsmasq.leases, but they can be found with a nslookup.
