      Hello,

      I'm using few VirtualBox machines i.e. Debian, FreeBSD, Windows etc.
      In VBox I'm using bridged adapter with random MAC.

      I always have a problem after running machine that I cannot lookup for this machine by DNS query asking pfSense dns.
      That means if I have machine 'virtual' and it got ip from pfSense I cannot ping it by hostname.

      Workaround is to restart dnsmasq service and then everything working correctly.

      Can somebody help me what's wrong?

        Have you checked the DHCP registration box in the DNS Forwarder settings?
