I in the beginning of troubleshooting an issue with name resolution in dnsmasq on a freebsd
server.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.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.However the firewall cannot ping the
client by name, despite a record for that host in the dnsmasq.leases file.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.I'd appreciate any pointers as I'm running
out of things to check and haven't found an obvious problem yet.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.<begin log snippet>May 12 09:21:16 icm
