Need "Custom Options" section for Kea DHCP Server to support Kea DHCP-DDNS service at a minimum
0%
Description
With the move to the Kea DHCP server, local resolution of DHCP names in the DNS relay has gone away. A reasonable workaround is to enable the Kea DHCP-DDNS service and send updates to the DNS server. While these changes to config files are relatively simple and outside the scope of the files managed by pfSense itself (/usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp-ddns.conf and /usr/local/etc/kea/keactrl.conf), changes do have to be made to /usr/local/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf.
Of course, a better solution would be to outright add support for the Kea DHCP-DDNS service and have a configuration page for it. This would solve a number of problems in Windows environments where it makes more sense to run DHCP from the firewall and DNS on the domain controllers.

We are aware of the features not yet implemented in Kea, these are already being developed and do not need to be tracked separately.
