Hi All, I’ve recently converted from the older ISC dhcpd with dynamic DNS configured and working properly with updating forward and reverse entries, but after converting to Kea, I can only get the forward entries to work and the reverse entries do not update.
This is a raspberry pi 4b running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Kea 2.0.2. I can’t run the latest version since this is an arm system. From what I can tell, things *look* correct, but when I do a journalctl -xeu kea-dhcp-ddns-server, in the below snippet, I get the following: Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: INFO DHCP_DDNS_REMOVE_SUCCEEDED DHCP_DDNS Request ID 000001F16C84BB0E8343A9B37FA2789333DAFE841ED32B93F538FC22A0F905170D2979: successfully removed the DNS mapping addition for this request: Type: 1 (CHG_REMOVE) Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Forward Change: yes Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Reverse Change: yes Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: FQDN: [lg-washer.totusmel.com.] Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: IP Address: [192.168.10.74] Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: DHCID: [000001F16C84BB0E8343A9B37FA2789333DAFE841ED32B93F538FC22A0F905170D2979] Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Expires On: 20240127223510 Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Length: 2400 Jan 27 15:55:15 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Conflict Resolution: yes Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: ERROR DHCP_DDNS_REVERSE_REPLACE_REJECTED DNS Request ID 000001F16C84BB0E8343A9B37FA2789333DAFE841ED32B93F538FC22A0F905170D2979: Server, 192.168.10.3 port:53, rejected a DNS update request to replace the reverse mapping for FQDN, lg-washer.totusmel.com., with an RCODE: 5 Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: ERROR DHCP_DDNS_ADD_FAILED DHCP_DDNS Request ID 000001F16C84BB0E8343A9B37FA2789333DAFE841ED32B93F538FC22A0F905170D2979: Transaction outcome Status: Failed, Event: UPDATE_FAILED_EVT, Forward change: completed, Reverse change: failed, request: Type: 0 (CHG_ADD) Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Forward Change: yes Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Reverse Change: yes Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: FQDN: [lg-washer.totusmel.com.] Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: IP Address: [192.168.10.74] Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: DHCID: [000001F16C84BB0E8343A9B37FA2789333DAFE841ED32B93F538FC22A0F905170D2979] Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Expires On: 20240128010837 Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Length: 2400 Jan 27 16:28:37 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Conflict Resolution: yes Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: INFO DHCP_DDNS_REMOVE_SUCCEEDED DHCP_DDNS Request ID 000101F6EDAB718AF0636693516DC64E90C9548F7468BA9B9BE28C3603ADF66E710310: successfully removed the DNS mapping addition for this request: Type: 1 (CHG_REMOVE) Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Forward Change: yes Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Reverse Change: yes Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: FQDN: [lr-lg-c2.totusmel.com.] Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: IP Address: [192.168.10.108] Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: DHCID: [000101F6EDAB718AF0636693516DC64E90C9548F7468BA9B9BE28C3603ADF66E710310] Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Expires On: 20240128033544 Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Lease Length: 2400 Jan 27 19:47:29 raspi kea-dhcp-ddns[1542846]: Conflict Resolution: yes The error entry shows a failure while the first and second entries show success. I’m a bit baffled because in the kea-dhcp-ddns.conf, the forward and reverse are configured nearly the same and reference the same key to allow updates: "DhcpDdns": { "ip-address": "127.0.0.1", "port": 53001, "control-socket": { "socket-type": "unix", "socket-name": "/tmp/kea-ddns-ctrl-socket" }, <?include "/etc/kea/tsig-keys.json"?> "forward-ddns" : { "ddns-domains": [ { "name": "totusmel.com.", "key-name": "ddns-key", "dns-servers": [ { "ip-address": "192.168.10.3", "port": 53 } ] } ] }, "reverse-ddns" : { "ddns-domains": [ { "name": "10.168.192.in-addr.arpa.", "key-name": "ddns-key", "dns-servers": [ { "ip-address": "192.168.10.3", "port": 53 } ] } ] } The relevant section from the kea-dhcp4.conf: "dhcp-ddns": { "enable-updates": true } "ddns-qualifying-suffix": "totusmel.com", "ddns-override-client-update": true, I’m also expecting there to be a .jnl file for the zone file in /var/lib/bind/ where the zone files reside, but the .jnl file I’m expecting never gets generated: root@raspi:/var/lib/bind# ls -la db* -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 6169 Jan 27 16:37 db.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 295 Nov 6 2022 db.20.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 347 Nov 6 2022 db.30.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 278 Nov 6 2022 db.40.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 276 Nov 6 2022 db.50.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 1082 Jan 25 20:08 db.lab.totusmel.com -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 1372 Jan 25 19:56 db.lab.totusmel.com.jnl -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 22676 Jan 28 02:41 db.totusmel.com -rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 3872 Jan 28 02:28 db.totusmel.com.jnl Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be wrong? I can provide more information if needed, I just included the bits that I thought were relevant. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! -Ubence
