My router configuration makes a lot of PTR requests, which makes the query log nearly useless for blocking/unblocking domains as needed. I don't want to block the PTR requests. Blocking PTR requests made my routers behave badly. I just want them to stop showing in the query log.
A billion useless PTR records that I don't want to see int the query log.
What is the nature of the PTR's and why are there a billion of them?
Are the queries not being answered?
Please provide some examples from either your query log (via a screen capture which you can post directly in your reply), or via text from the dnsmasq log at /var/log/pihole/pihole.log.
It's Velops. They spam PTR between the parent and the children. It is this issue:
They aren't the problem, but I don't want to see them since they are just noise. Just wondering is there is a way to tell the query log to not show PTR requests.
You could consider filtering them from some dashboard lists via Settings | API, but they would still be logged.
But maybe there is a way to influence the frequency of those PTR lookups.
Could you manually run such a reverse lookup and share the ouput?
