      There is a difference between "clients" that get dhcp and "servers" he is using the name server.. While sure you might want to hand info out to the server via dhcp, so you can easy change stuff later like different router or dns, etc.

      But server should have a dhcp reservation.

      Random clients that are on and off the network, if you have a need to resolve them sure have register their names. But then why would you need to put in a host override? Why would you not just use different sub or domain then..

      Just still not getting this use case.

        Yeah, the easiest way to avoid this would just be to not add dynamic leases to Unbound.

          It's true and easiest disabling the DNS for DHCP clients.

          Thanks for all.
