    Don't know if this is related to the RC or upgrade, I have an host alias which contains the same hostname from DHCP Server and DHCP Server 6.

    It looks like this but the entry in the middle shouldn't be there. It was valid once but was later changed to the one below.

    Edit: It looks like the address in the middle came from an old host-override in the dns-resolver. But is was not using the same domain name as in System/General Setup, so I don't see why this should be part of that alias and table. The host name was the same though.

    When I deleted the whole table it comes back like this, the middle entry is not seen everywhere else. Or the whole table didn't came back at all.

    While testing this I noticed that the table will not be recreated by the time of the "Aliases Hostnames Resolve Interval", only if I modify the time value. I thought it always should resolve in that time but maybe this whole process takes longer or behaves differently then I had remembered.

      If that is an alias that gets its entries from DNS, then your answer likely likes in the DNS response(s) for whatever hostname you have in the alias.

      For example, check how any FQDN resolves from the shell, e.g. host blah.example.com 127.0.0.1

        The resolve interval is when the contents are re-checked after the filterdns process starts. When you do a filter reload it usually restarts that process/countdown timer, so depending on what you're doing it may show up sooner or later. Also DNS caches may have kept old responses around for a bit.

          Marked solved because I have deleted the override and maybe it was also for home.arpa. Thanks Jim.
