dnsmasq not picking up IPv6 hostnames?
«

Hello all, I am new to OPNsense and this is the first time I am plying with IPv6. I want to write firewall rules based on hostname. Therefore I want to make sure my hosts IPv6 address is in DNS. I have IPv4 working as expected, but the IPv6 addresses are not showing up in DNS. I do see dnsmasq listeing on my IPv6 space with this command line argument --listen-address=2602:306:<removed>, but no IPv6 addresses in /var/etc/dnsmasq-hosts. I was looking for a guide on the wiki, but I do not see one
. What are I missing...
Thanks!

Hi Mark,
IPv6 static leases from the internal DHCPv6 server are picked up correctly, but dynamic leases aren't like their IPv4 counterpart.
I don't know if that is a shortcoming of the lease management of DHCPv6 or if this was simply forgotten. I'll add a ticket and check this out as soon as I can.
