I'm on pfSense Community Edition 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1
I assigned some static DHCP mappings on one of my LAN interfaces
If I try to reach any one of those static mapped hosts by its Hostname (or by Client Id), pfSense does not resolve its IP address.
I understand I can solve this by enabling the DNS Forwarder and maybe using overrides but that doesn't look like the proper solution.
I didn't have this problem before switching to pfSense, when I was using a consumer device (Netgear R7000 all-in-1 router/firewall/switch/access point) but I guess it used dnsmasq
internally, not unbound
as the pfSense DNS Resolver does.
What should I change, either in pfSense or in the hosts configuration?
