Thank you for the response. Since I m using pi-hole as my DHCP server now, the issue is resolved. Just one thought for improvement. When DHCP is disabled or enabled and no devices have a lease yet, the section to assign IP-addresses statically does not show up. So I assumed at first, this was no…

What's the log look like when you request the domains? /var/log/pihole.log

It appears that only the times that the domains are resolved correctly are logged. I just performed multiple nslookups which were resolved to the domain's external address, and none were logged, yet the log is full of entries resolving the domain to the correct internal address. I did however see th…

That sounds like your device is using more than just Pi-hole as the DNS server (or further upstream in the router it's using something else)

I'm having exactly the same issue as @koolmon10 . Installed Pi-Hole. Set up Pi-Hole. DHCP server enabled. Added a bunch of static DHCP leases. On the Pi-Hole itself (and other devices) half the local hostnames resolve and half don't. If I ping bose-lounge.local the IP resolves, and the following goe…

Thought I'd start a new reply rather than make a third edit!! :slight_smile: So I've discovered that (certainly on my LAN) it's a crapshoot with the .local domain: Some hosts can be resolved with .local and without .local on the end Some hosts can only be resolved with .local on the end Some host…

[image] FanBoy: I have found a fix though. Change the “Pi-hole domain name” to something other than .local (I just tried .home) and now everything works both with and without .home on the end! Hmm, maybe your router or your upstream DNS server doesn't like .local as there is nothing specific …

It's possible your issues may be related to mDNS, which I believe uses .local as the default domain name. mDNS is what most devices use to discover others on the network. It's what lets your phone find your Chromecast, etc.

I already posted this on reddit but will do so here again, since it completely resolved my DNS resolution issues with Pi-Hole in Windows (7, 8.1 and 10). tl;dr: disable IPv6 in Network Adaper settings AND disabled IP-Helper service! If you have any issues with local DNS resolution on Windows, alth…

minor problem is that Chrome/Opera browser treats the address as search (unless you put http:// in front). How to change this, if possible?

Note: restarting dnsmasq didn't seem to work for me, but pihole restartdns worked.
