Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For ipv6, reverse lookups for hosts managed by dnsmasq are returned as a FQDN. For ipv4 leases just the hostname is returned. See this issue for more details: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/8633. Opening a separate ticket for this per the suggestion of an opnsense maintainer in the linked issue.

Currently this can only be made consistent with a dnsmasq config file, setting expand-hosts. It can't be controlled from the GUI.

Describe the solution you like

Consistent behaviour for reverse lookups for ipv4 and ipv6 clients, either all returned as a FQDN or not. And ideally a toggle in the dnsmasq GUI that controls whether or not lookups are returned as a FQDN.

Describe alternatives you considered

Manually setting the config, as described in the linked issue.
