      Let me clarify.

      It makes perfect sense that static IP network resources like NAS, email server, print server etc need to be registered but I somewhat fail to get an idea that my iphones, ipads and tables need to be.

      But why would I want every dynamic IP clients (iphone, tv, ipda, android phone etc) have registered with Unbound?
      My question is about the need to register dhcp leases (changes all the time) with Unbound DNS? These clients do not need to have these dynamic/changes IP addresses registered with DNS.

        @dennypage There are significant changes with Kea in 25.11. I would first ask to try reproducing the issue there. Until a new RC build is released, you can update to the current public build and apply the patch for (then restart Kea services):
        35b7ace2e50e8e9387ae23964a0d18978601e0dd

        Note that the socket path has changed; the command would now be:
        echo '{"command":"lease6-get-all"}' | nc -U /var/run/kea/kea6-ctrl-socket | jq .

          I'm not sure my usage relates to your question then. My leases, including phones, tablets, tvs, etc., don't change all the time. They are all fixed hostname->ip addr mappings.

            I gave the patch a quick try, but it breaks unbound. [It reports syntax errors /in /var/unbound/leases*.conf]

              Can you provide more detail? What exactly is the error being logged and what are the contents of those files? What's the step-by-step for the test? Feel free to DM me.

                  @dennypage @marcosm This is still broken in 25.11-RC from Nov26:

                  FreeBSD temperance.local.lan 16.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #36 plus-RELENG_25_11-n256500-a43915e7ef55: Wed Nov 26 17:53:51 UTC 2025     root@pfsense-build-release-aarch64-2.eng.atx.netgate.com:/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-25_11-main/obj/aarch64/HBRSF4R0/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-25_11-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-plus-RELENG_25_11/arm64.aarch64/sys/pfSense arm64

                  Unbound fails to start, syslog says:

                  The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '/var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: unknown keyword 'local.lan.' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: stray '"' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: unknown keyword '(fqdn)' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: stray '"' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: unknown keyword 'local.lan.' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: stray '"' /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf:4: error: unknown keyword '(fqdn)' <snip>

                  This blocks me logging in through the GUI, got console access though.

                    @pst If coming from a prior beta/rc, you will need to clear your DHCPv6 leases.

                      @dennypage Thank you, I managed to get in by removing /var/unbound/leases/leases6.conf and restarting unbound, then clearing all dhcpv6 leases through the GUI. The system seems happier now :)

                        Looks like you have a ' or " in one of your host names.

                        Check your leases file (example : the leases4.conf file) :

                        Syntax errors like these are easy to find.

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          no, the errors were caused by cached leases from previous RC. Once I had cleared them the issues was gone.
