(...) The device gets the 10.12.15.129 address assigned but the hostname ecoflow is not allocated anywhere. ping ecoflow or host ecoflow or ping ecoflow.mydomain.net, etc don't cause the 10.12.15.129 address to be resoved so all I get is: Host ecoflow not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
By default, dnsmasq would already register client provided names, unless configuration options would overwrite that name. Your log not only shows the name as provided by your client, but also demonstrates that dnsmasq has acknowledged ecoflow as name. If ecoflow doesn't resolve, then either your client may have withdrawn its lease, or the client that tried to resolve ecoflow is not talking to your dnsmasq for DNS. In general, ping isn't adequate to analyse DNS issues, as it may use other means to resolve names than just DNS, may also fail for reasons unrelated to DNS, and doesn't provide important DNS details. You should use DNS-specific tools like nslookup or dig, which will give you more detailed information on a query. Run from a client that fails to resolve ecoflow, what's the output of the following commands: nslookup ecoflow nslookup ecoflow <dnsmasq-IP> For the latter, substitute <dnsmasq-IP> with the IP address of the machine hosting your dnsmasq.
