DNS resolver not resolvering hosts in alias

4o4rh

I have the default route over VPN and i created an alias for machines to go direct via wan using an alias.
e.g. netgate.com is one.

The general settings has only 127.0.0.1 as the dns server
NAT forward directs DNS to local interfaces for each one
Pass rule for !firewall for DNS on each interface
Block rule * for DNS on each interface

client dns resolution works - or i wouldn't be writing now.

in the resolver log, i keep getting - the below errors which are hosts defined in the alias for vpn_bypass
filterdns failed to resolve host www.changiairport.com will retry later again.
filterdns failed to resolve host protonmail.com will retry later again.

You have DNS issues.

@Gertjan actually, i think i am suffering from this issue

I will try to disable the DHCP lease registration and see if that helps.

I can confirm, i did have the same problem as in the bug report. disabling the DHCP lease registration worked for me as a workaround too.
