pfSense breaks after changing System Domain Local Zone Type to Redirect if host overrides or static DHCP leases exist
0%
Description
Changing System Domain Local Zone Type to Redirect will break the management interface entirely if host overrides or static DHCP leases exist.
When I changed the System Domain Local Zone Type to Redirect, I got many complaints like

and the unbound will not start.
There is no way of reverting the config other than restore config backup.
Changing type to Redirect, saving, Changing type back to Transparent, and saving, immediately gets rejected:

The only remedy is to do a config restore, meaning that had I not have full admin permissions, the resolver would have no option to come up since then and require intervention. This can break in someone's enterprise and impact business operation, hence the urgent priority.

I cannot reproduce this as stated. I can switch back and forth without error even with static entries present. Possibly you have some invalid formatting in custom options conflicting but even that seems unlikely. Keep it on the forum until someone can provide a reliable way to reproduce it in lab conditions or from a stock config.

Please reach out to me on my email. I will either clone the system for you or I can give you access to my system if we coordinate some workable time when we can work together.
