      It seems that KEA-DHCP on pfSense does not register dynamic assigned DHCP-leases in DNS. Only static-mapped DHCP-clients.
      Because in the leases I see also hostnames for dynamic assigned DHCP-clients, but I can not resolve this hostnames in DNS.
      It only works for static-mapped clients.

        It depends on the version of pfSense you are running. If running pfSense CE 2.7.2, then you are correct in your assessment. But if you are running pfSense Plus 24.11, then Kea does in fact perform dynamic DNS updates of the DNS Resolver in pfSense each time it issues a DHCP lease. I am running that version and now the dynamic DNS updates for DHCP leases works just fine.
