Weird home.arpa requests

I am trying to run a Factorio server, and it has worked in the past, however now it is failing to resolve auth.factorio.com.
I look in the logs for pi-hole, and it shows that the device is requesting both:
auth.factorio.com and auth.factorio.com.home.arpa

Why is this? It is blocking factorio from downloading the server files, so how do I fix this?

I have pfsense, and under General Setup > Domain is set to home.arpa

Thanks!

Some devices will append your local LAN name to requests.

In your case, how are the two different queries being answered by Pi-hole?

They show up as AAAA and A
Status is all "ok" with either answered by DNS or cache.
Reply is "NXDOMAIN"

The domain without home.arpa has the reply of "IP"

Solution:
Simply adding:
network_mode: host
fixed whatever mistake I had made.
