DNS reverse lookup not working on local lan (IPV4 or IPV6)

[simervillefarm]

Hello all, I have setup an OPNSense (15.1.6.1) here on the farm to manage my Internet connection.  I am running a dual stack system so I can propagate IPV6 addresses to all my PLC devices here and be able to access them from the world.  I have almost everything working here with the exception of DNS.  Specifically reverse DNS.  I have DNS working by name but my reverse lookup is not.

IPV6

I have scoured the OPNSense configuration pages and I can't see a spot to enable/disable reverse lookups (why there would be one I have no idea).  Anyone have any ideas where to start looking?

I guess another question would be why is there no answer section in the IPV6 reverse lookup query, I just noticed that now as I proof reading this.

[simervillefarm]

Am I the only one out there with reverse lookup issues?  This has been killing me, I am going crazy trying to get DNS to work correctly.

[simervillefarm]

Oops , I messed up and I should have read the man pages.  For some reason I forgot to use the rDNS '-x' flag.  I feel shame and for the life of me I don't remember having to use the '-x' flag before, but obviously I did.  *sigh*  Oh well here is my expected output now.

[weust]

Are these manual override entries in DNS Forwarder?
I created a topic on it and Ad or Jos found a bug I de code.

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=238.0

Maybe I am wrong and are you talking about something different then me.
In that case, ignore my post

[simervillefarm]

Yes the entries I was testing (in this example) were static DNS entries that I had made, but the same holds true for dynamic entries as well.

[weust]

It got fixed in 15.1.8. The settings weren't saved before.

[franco]

simervillefarm, can you confirm this is now working for you as weust suggested? Thanks in advance.
