      Hi all, i spent past couple of hours debugging the issue with no success.
      I have dhcp server configured to send updates to bind server ( im on pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE).
      All of my static mappings are correctly updated by dhcp server and i can see matching records in named zone.
      The problem is that no other hosts besides the static ones are being updated in NAMED. I see DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK in the logs with correct host name e.g "DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.200.148 from xx:xx:xx (db) via re1" but no dns updates are triggered.
      So far i tried to play with DDNS Client Updates and "Enable registration of DHCP client names in DNS" options in addition of changing "dhclient.conf" on my client host.

      i tried the following options in dhclient.conf:

      option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
      
      send host-name = gethostname();
      request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
              domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
              dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.sntp-servers,
              netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
              rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
      send fqdn.server-update off;
      timeout 300;
      
      

      and without sending host-name :

      option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
      send host-name = gethostname();
      request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
              netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
              rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
      send fqdn.server-update off;
      timeout 300;
      
      

      but still no luck...

      What am i missing?
      Thank you!
