The issue I am facing:
Ever since I've set a domain name on my router, I've noticed some strange activities.
Where once I usually get 200 queries per hour, it has now jumped to 2000 queries per hour.
pihole.log is full of the following records:
Mar 19 18:10:09 dnsmasq[3608298]: query[AAAA] localhost.local.home from 192.168.70.1
Mar 19 18:10:09 dnsmasq[3608298]: forwarded localhost.local.home to 192.168.70.1
Mar 19 18:10:09 dnsmasq[3608298]: query[AAAA] localhost.local.home from 192.168.70.1
Mar 19 18:10:09 dnsmasq[3608298]: cached localhost.local.home is (null)
As a consequence of this it has probably also led to this issue (which I've also raised):
Apart from the surge in number of queries, throwing off graph and historical data, and the the issue I've detailed above (#45481) pihole is working as expected.
And so while this issue is not critical, there is something not quite right.
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a switch I should set. Thanks
