As dnsmasq is now the default DHCP Service I have switched from KEA to dnsmasq.

But it looks like now the registering of static DHCP Mappings is no longer working.

Is this intended? Do I have switch back to KEA?
Or will this function that static mappings from dnsmasq are created in Unbound will come in the future?

You need to use DNSmasq for DNS, too.

dnsmaq (under hosts) is setup with the same data as my Kea static mappings.

both products work.  I just prefer to use Kea.

Sorry. A little more precise. The dns registration of static dhcp entries in unbound is not working.

Ok. Then if I understand correctly.
When I want the more advanced features from unbound like dns overrides or query forwarding for as example a nextdns integration and I like that the static dhcp entries are registered in unbound, the only way is to actual use KEA?
