DCHP KEA Logs - IP is reversed in every 2nd "Record installed:" entry.

[FCS001FCS]

I just noticed that the IP address of the KEA Unbound DCHP logs are reversed. i.e. on one line the IP is correct 192.168.2.30 on the next entry line the IP is reversed 30.2.168.192.

Version: 2.8.0-RC running on a bare metal miniPC Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-N305. Also the same on my other test miniPC.

100.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa is the reverse lookup request.

Yup those are A records vs PTR records.

So, I never noticed this before, but this is normal? OK thanks, learned something today.

Sorry for the uneducated question.

Yes that's normal. See, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup#IPv4_reverse_resolution
