    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    Ah, ok, thanks, that makes sense. It was the "as they leave the LAN" part that I wasn't understanding. I'll try to reintroduce the dnsmasq definitions, and maybe I can achieve both the dns assignment I want AND catching the dns circumventers. Thanks for your help!

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    I created them by putting them in a file called dnsmasq.conf.add in /jffs/configs on the router. I have no other dhcp-host lines in that file for the same MAC addresses. One line per MAC address. Pasting dnsmasq lines here for clarity: #...

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    I have two piholes. They're not a cascading main and backup like usual. It's two distinct DNS servers for two mutually exclusive sets of devices. One is the default, so it's defined in the LAN DHCP screen on the router. The second one pihole is used by a few specific clients. I used to use...

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    Hi Colin, here are the screenshots. The top part of the DNS director that shows the definition of User Defined DNS 1 and the other settings is in the original post. Thanks for your help.

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    Thanks, yes, I've done all that already. DNS queries from devices that are supposed to use the default pihole at 192.168.1.9 are being routed just as expected. That's the pihole defined in the LAN DNS field of the DHCP screen in Asus Merlin/gnuton. The global redirection by DNS Director seems...

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    Hi, I recently decided to try DNS Director after I found an astonishing number of IoT things circumventing my piholes (plural). I think I have it configured correctly, but my devices that are configured to use the second pihole in DNS director are still using the main pihole advertised in the...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Well, sure enough, for different reasons, I changed the subnet for my YazFi guest network to 192.168.2.0 and I have names and ip addresses of guest network devices shown in the table now. I apparently noticed your second paragraph so much that I missed the significance of the first paragraph...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Hi Bennor, That file just contains DHCP reservations. Details are in my original post. syslog seems to show normal dnsmasq activity on the guest network with device names and ip addresses. Sep 11 13:45:03 dnsmasq-dhcp[5425]: DHCPDISCOVER(wl0.1) 64:52:99:c0:eb:ce Sep 11 13:45:03...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    I did change the DNS server in the YazFi interface for the guest network to all kinds of different things (router at 192.168.1.1, router at 192.168.105.1, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) but the Unknown hostname/ip address issue persists.

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Hi, that pihole serves DNS on two networks (the main and the guest), one from each interface, and I forgot to update its guest network ip address in its dhcpcd.conf. So that "incomplete" arp cache entry and dnsmasq.leases issue is one I've introduced during this troubleshooting thread. It was...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Thanks very much, Martinski. Appreciate yourtime. I renamed dnsmasq.conf to .txt because it didn't want to upload under the first name.

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Yes, I formatted the code correctly. arp -a run on the router shows all the correct device names and the new range of guest network IP addresses. /etc/dnsmasq.conf correctly shows the lines written by pc_append and then the last cat statement. Rebooted the router each time.

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Thanks for your reply! Here's what I've done since my first post: Update Asus-Merlin to 386.12 move ip reservations for the guest network from /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf to /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf changed YazFi guest network ip range from 192.168.101.x to 192.168.105.x (and reflected...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    Hi, first time poster. I've been using YazFi for several years, no troubles so far. But at some point, not sure when exactly, all the devices connected to the guest network appear with "Unknown" hostname and IP address. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this? I have a single YazFi guest...
