Reverse DNS To Resolve Hostnames Under Associated Stations?

[drtech]

I am Microsoft's DHCP server with a linked DNS Server that has a reverse look up zone configured.

I was looking for a way to rDNS resolve the IP addresses to hostnames under the associated stations tab, is it possible with OpenWrt ?

Missing clients name

I've upgraded my access point from 21.02.3 to 22.03.0 and clients connected not report their name only their IP. I use fping to force read clients name that worked on the previous openwrt 21.02.03.

My DHCP server is Windows, not another OpenWRT box

/etc/ethers still works, no matter what.
fping might too, never tried it though.

I upgraded a Linksys EA8500 from 21.02.1 to 22.03.2. This required a factory image to be able to accommodate the larger kernel size. That required manually restoring configurations.

I can confirm that /etc/ethers does work like before.

To get hostnames to be displayed along with addresses, I configured /etc/resolv.conf to use my DNS nameservers instead of 127.0.0.1 and ::1. As soon as I made that change, the LUCI interface immediately updated the list of associated stations with DNS names and IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

I don't know why I had to override resolv.conf like this. I tried clearing "Local server" in Network > DHCP and DNS > General Settings (was "/lan/"), and I tried clearing setting "Ignore resolv file" in Network > DHCP and DNS > Resolv and Hosts Files. Neither of those helped.
