Looks like I overlooked the .local/mDNS part. I agree with the previous posters: at the very least I'd switch to the default .lan domain just to eliminate this as a potential issue, now that the AGH upstreams are changed. Is AGH actually listening on all the VLAN interfaces?

Also I don't think you need these devices for VLANs:

23

110 is for homeasst to be on its own VLAN. I also did turn everything back to .lan but the issue didn't change at all. So I don't think it has anything Todo with the .local as it sounds like it's more of a convention and not a limitation. Also if it was mdns I'd suspect it would just be a few of the hostnames having refresh issues. But maybe I'm wrong.
Also the adguard is set to use 0.0.0.0. when I had it set to the routers IP then the router wasn't showing the .local or .lan domains at all. It was just showing their hostname. Adguard showed it correctly tho and pinging the hostname.lan did actually work. Wen I set it to all interfaces it finally showed in the router, but would randomly disappear and re-apear.

24

Says I'm listening to all interfaces. Maybe it's because I have the DHCP options three and six set?

25

Can you try binding it to each VLAN IP individually in bind_hosts:?

26

When i try that non of the '(hostname.domain)' show up anymore.

I am having the exact same problem. On the overview page in the list of active DHCP leases the names are constantly switching between FQDN and just the hostnames. But I'm not using local or lan or anything, I'm using my actual valid own domain.

I'm using AdGuard Home, running on port 53, dnsmasq is running on port 1054. In Adguard Home I have the following for upstream servers:

[/myowndomain.com/][::1]:1054
[//][::1]:1054
[2606:4700:4700::1111]:53

and the following for Private reverse DNS servers:

[::1]:1054

If I disable AdGuard Home and run dnsmasq on port 53, all the computers on the overview page are shown with their FQDNs.

28

I've managed to 'fix' it by using a workaround. I've put dnsmasq back on the standard port 53 and switched AdGuard Home to port 1054, and then used port forwarding to redirect all traffic from the lan for port 53 to port 1054. That way the router is using standard dnsmasq and all my lan devices use AdGuard Home.

The active dhcp leases are now shown with their FQDNs.

29

It's not ideal but Im glad this workaround works. Im hoping to find the cause or a proper solution but if not then i'll prob do what you did. I'm honestly thinking it may be a visual bug with how the router shows and updates the 'FQDN' as you put it.
