      I had this working then we had a power outage, and the reboot stopped it working.

      I have DHCP with static mappings to a few hosts… media and freepbx are the big ones that i would like to get going again.

      I cannot ping them from the diag screen in the GUI, and when I do an nslookup:

      chris@media:~$ nslookup media 192.168.91.1
      Server: 192.168.91.1
      Address: 192.168.91.1#53

      ** server can't find media: NXDOMAIN

      chris@media:~$ nslookup laptop3 192.168.91.1
      Server: 192.168.91.1
      Address: 192.168.91.1#53

      Name: laptop3
      Address: 192.168.91.210

      same machine, but I do an NSlookup of a DHCP client

      I go to my firewall:
      ping pfsense
      ping: cannot resolve pfsense: Unknown host
      [2.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.home]/etc(44):

      I'm wondering where I should turn next.

      On the DHCP page:
      I have enable registration of dhcp in dns
      .home as my domain
      and my static mappings

      On DNS forwarder:
      Enable DNS forwarder check
      Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder checked
      Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder checked
      Resolve DHCP mappings first checked

      Query DNS servers sequentially unchecked
      Require domain  unchecked

      Do not forward private reverse lookups checked

      I'm not sure what other information would be useful, no errors that I see in the DHCP logs or system logs pertaining to DNS/DHCP events…

        I rebooted and it was resolved.

        I changed nothing.
