DDNS IPv6 Cloudflare
-
@johnpoz So I have not willingly or knowingly put it in a host file for IPv4. When does pfSense this and why it didn't happened for IPv6 also?
I think it is a bug. The bug is that the alias is taking no hosts or FQDN for IPv6, only for IPv4.
2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 -
Dude this is not rocket science --- here I turned on ipv6 via dhcp6 on my client.... Setup a static entry for it - bing bang soom there you go host name is in the host file, both fully qualified and just host..
So pfsense can not resolve it with just host name
Having your client register its dns name can be done via the dhcpv6 setup or the client into pfsense...

@johnpoz Could you do me a favor by creating an hostname or FQDN IPv6 Alias in pfSense and making a screenshot?
I have my names in DHCP and DNS Resolver already.

In my ongoing "battle" with DDNS and dynamic prefixes I was able to get a "RFC 2136 Client" in pfSense working with dynv6.com. The "normal" DDNS-Client in pfSense for dynv6 wouldn't work for me.
Anyway, what it allows me, is to have a prefix on an interface in the DNS. Together with static interface identifiers (host part), like you can have in pfSense with DHCPv6 Static Mappings on an interface which tracks IPv6-WAN, now the hosts have a working DDNS, because the changing prefix get registered in DNS, not only in pfSense.
dynv6.com even allows you to use your own sub-domain via delegation, which I did.
