        You can configure manually names to IPs when your clients use the pfSense as DNS server

        We do what we must, because we can.

          thank you sir, but what i mean is

          for example;

          192.168.1.20 will be replaced as "Client1" when viewed in the arp table
          or
          at lightsquid user access report, Client1 will be seen instead of 192.168.1.20

          thanks..
