<html><body><div>I in the beginning of troubleshooting an issue with name resolution in dnsmasq on a freebsd server.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm running dnsmasq 2.86 and I'm not able to resolve hostnames that are dhcp clients. This is a new development and may possibly be related to a FreeBSD system upgrade from 13.0-RELEASE to 13.0-RELEASE-p11.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Example, my desktop machine is a dhcp client and is active on the network, and can ping via hostname the firewall server that runs dnsmasq which is assigned a static IP and reads /etc/hosts for static names and /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq for upstream dns servers.<br></div><div><br></div><div>However the firewall cannot ping the client by name, despite a record for that host in the dnsmasq.leases file.<br></div><div><br></div><div>again, this is a new issue, and this used to work when the server was originally setup. I can prove that the leases database file is being written to by the dnsmasq service as there are recent (read: from today) timestamps on the file itself.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd appreciate any pointers as I'm running out of things to check and haven't found an obvious problem yet.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Below is the startup log entry from a dnsmasq server restart. Not sure if it helps, but I didnt want to ask without trying to prove that I tried to fix it myself.<br></div><div><br></div><div><begin log snippet><br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: started, version 2.86 cachesize 150<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-UBus i18n IDN2 DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP no-conntrack ipset auth cryptohash DNSSEC loop-detect no-inotify dumpfile<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq-dhcp[17586]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.19.75 -- 192.168.19.125, lease time 12h<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq-tftp[17586]: TFTP root is /usr/local/tftp secure mode<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: using only locally-known addresses for hallhome.private<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: reading /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: using nameserver 71.10.216.1#53<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: using nameserver 71.10.216.2#53<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: using only locally-known addresses for hallhome.private<br></div><div>May 12 09:21:16 icm dnsmasq[17586]: read /etc/hosts - 8 addresses<br></div><div></end log snippet><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for any assistance/pointers you can provide.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Rance<br></div></body></html>
