Yes, everything looks right. I moved dhcp resolution from the router to technitium recently, but hadn’t set up local resolution.
I’m currently thinking the router is the culprit. Here in the UK there are lots of forum posts complaining about the Virgin Media gear. Nothing specifically describes my problem but I’m going to try a new router over the weekend.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll grab a cap to check.
I’m running tcpdump -i any port 53. I can see the outbound request but not the reply. Will the cap show me anything more?
Thanks for giving it some thought!
I have been testing using dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan
3, 4, and 5 work for TXT, NS and SOA but doesn’t work for A records. I think this rules out a simple network issue?
Thanks for replying, I appreciate the response.
I’m running dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan from my client (a MacBook).
If I run ‘dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan TXT’ I get a correct response (I have added a txt record)
If I run ‘dig @192.168.0.249 lan SOA’ or ‘NS’ I correctly get the records for the zone.
I think this eliminates the possibility of it being a routing error?

I’m on book 2 of Jim Butcher’s Cinder Spires series. Loving it, great swashbuckling adventure. Very disappointed he hasn’t written the 3rd one yet.

Have you ever felt tempted to put a dashboard around the place? Maybe the rest of the family aren't bothered about longer term information etc.
I was thinking things like weather and power usage might help my family. I also thought something that showed who was home would be cool.
I've got a decent number of local manual controls, but not all of them. For example, some of my wall switches operate the relay because they are just turning on and off the power. Others I have disabled the relay on because the lights themselves are WW/CW tuneable and HA controls the colour during the day.
I'm wondering about having another look at zigbee groups and commands for the simpler automations in the house. I avoided these because they aren't really visible to HA and I didn't like having two automation 'languages' at the same time.
Overall, how long do you think you could cope without your HA platform before it becomes an issue?
I was thinking about matter yesterday, I like the idea of being able to have multiple controllers. My house is half wifi devices and half zigbee. I'd been favouring zigbee recently because I don't want to swamp my network with device packets, but maybe that needs a rethink. At the very least my wifi devices all have esp home configs that could be configured to fall back to defaults.
Some cool examples there, I’m going to think about them. I particularly like the walking ones.
I want to love dashboards. I love the idea of a control centre in each room but I just can’t get to the point of winning with them
There is a key to lock it closed, and the same key will lock it either on or off. In keeping with a Victorian Bell/Butler Board but not near it in the house.
I guess it must be some kind of isolator switch, but I know nothing of its history.
I switched out the router and things started working. Very weird, but I can’t tho jot anything other than it being the Virgin Media hub not liking it. Apparently they have history on this.
