      Hello. My pfSense instance has its domain set to home.intranet. I'd like to assign a static IP to one of my devices using Kea DHCP but I'd like to give it a DNS mapping for a subdomain on my LAN.

      Router Domain: home.intranet
      Device Static IP: 192.168.10.14
      Device FQDN: htpc.tvs.home.intranet

      With ISC DHCP I was able to set the subdomain by setting the Hostname to "htpc.tvs" but I'm finding that with pfSense 2.7.2 and Kea DHCP I'm unable to append the subdomain to the hostname in this same manner. Setting the domain name also doesn't seem to work, as the FQDN does not resolve to the IP it was assigned.

      Is this kind of configuration possible? Thank you.

        Read Netgate Adds Kea DHCP to pfSense Plus Software Version 23.09 : switch back to ISC DHCP and you'll be good.

          @Gertjan Thank you for the reply. I tried switching back, but I'm still unable to append the subdomain part to my hostname, and setting the domain name still doesn't have the desired effect.

            Where 11:22:33:44:55:66 is the MAC of that device.

            Check that de default :

            is still checked.

              @Gertjan Thank you. pfSense 2.7.2 does not allow me to specify a subdomain part in the hostname, but setting the subdomain in the Domain Name field worked in combination with ISC DHCP and ensuring that the "Static DHCP" setting was set.
