Knowing if this is even a function provided by the RB1100 would go a long way here.
I have the RB1100 setup to do DHCP and DNS. DHCP works in that it tells the client it’s IP and provides the DNS’ to them. The clients see the RB1100 itself as the first DNS entry, then it sees the two ISP DNS’ as the second and third.
However, clients are not able to be referred to by machine name - only by IP address. So a ping to amachine fails, while a ping to 192.168.4.123 works fine. I also added a static entry for atest to a specific IP, and a ping to atest does not resolve to the IP either.
This is a small network (20 machines now) and I’m trying to avoid the business of building a DNS and DHCP server, if possible.
You probably need to have the full name in your static entries for it to work.
I have a naming scheme based on norse mythology.
My CRS is named heimdall, when i added asgard.lan to the name it worked.

Whops, I double posted. Sorry
