      I use godaddy for my DNS handling and pfsense DYN DNS to update the records as needed. I have a wildcard (*) record that works well, an (@) record that works well, and a minetest subdomain record that works well. (The domain name is brightlight.today.) When I enter random values (ping -c 1 whatever.brightlight.today;) they work, too, but when I ping -c 1 meet.brightlight.today;, it doesn't work.

      I added a special meet record in pfsense because I'm not able to update the wildcard record in godaddy using pfsense (I just posted another issue about that), and I'm worried that's what borked it? This is from my "Dynamic DNS Clients" page in pfsense web configuration:

      Also, I think adding this record in pfsense added it to godaddy? At https://dcc.godaddy.com/manage/brightlight.today/dns?plid=1, I see

      And I'm almost positive I didn't add that additional meet record in godaddy...

      Anyway, let me know if you think I'm having a godaddy problem rather than a pfsense problem, or if you have any ideas about how I can fix it. Thank you!

        I figured it out. Pfsense was caching DNS queries. I restarted the dnsmasq service, and I'm good to go. Thanks!
