Hi all,

We're running DHCP and DNS on a pair of CARPed pfSense 1.2.1 boxen. Other than the fact that they don't sync DCHP entries, it's been working OK for us. However, we've currently got them configured to assign static IPs to specific MACs, and that's becoming difficult to manage. We'd prefer to add an entry for each host's MAC and a hostname, but omit the IP address assignment. While we can do this currently - said hosts do receive an IP address is the dynamic pool - the hosts' hostname fails to be assigned in DNS. Remember, statically- assigned IP hosts (hence, hosts added to /etc/hosts) DO get added to DNS.

Interestingly, our DHCP leases on the responding DHCP server show:

IP address      MAC address             Hostname                Online  Lease 
Type
10.0.9.200      00:0c:f1:aa:c2:27                       <snip>    online  active
                00:0c:f1:aa:c2:27       ian-testpc      <snip>    online  static

and the non-responding DHCP server shows only:

                00:0c:f1:aa:c2:27       ian-testpc      <snip>    online  static

Is this a known limitation?

Thanks!
Ian
