Multiple IPs have same Hostname in "Top Clients" after filling "custom.list"

Help docker

Hi,

i'm using pihole in a podman container in a proxmox vm.
DHCP is done from my router.
Everything worked as expected.
But after filling "pihole/etc-pihole/custom.list" with some "ip hostname" combinations:

i ended up with different IPs having the same Hostname in the Dashboard:

  • Docker Tag [2023.05.2]
  • Pi-hole [v5.17.1]
  • FTL [v5.23]
  • Web Interface [v5.20.1]

Expected Behaviour:

Showing the correct hostname for the given IP in "custom.list"

Actual Behaviour:

Different IPs are showing with the same hostname in the Dashboard

Debug Token:

Does your observation still persist?

If your Pi-hole did acquire local hostnames via alternate sources prior to your custom.list edits, the UI may still have reflected that.

Also, did you restart your Pi-hole after manually editing custom.list?
Note that Pi-hole would also allow you to edit Local DNS records via its UI.

Hi,

there shouldn't been any alternate sources.

I alread flushed logs / network table, restart dns and restart system ...
And evan after removing the entries in the custom.list. i have the same problem ...
will destroy and recreate the docker container ...

Hi all, FYI

i think i finally found the error ...
i pointed the "REV_SERVER_TARGET" to the IP of the pihole server instead of my Router ...
facepalm
sorry for that :>
