Description

I'm running Pihole on a Pi Zero and am gradually pointing all my devices to use this as a DNS filter.

I've just pointed my motioneye OS (on a Pi 2) using the static IP configuration and now PiHole is recording entries such as

2021-10-26 16:49:36 AAAA no-cache" 192.168.0.204 and 2021-10-26 16:49:36 A no-cache" 192.168.0.204

Update: Just to add that this pairing occurs once every hour.

Both the no-cache and the double quote after it make me feel it's a coding issue but I don't know where to start.

My static_ip.conf is

STATIC_IP="192.168.0.204/24"
STATIC_GW="192.168.0.1"
STATIC_DNS="192.168.0.18"

Both the machines are working fine, I just don't like inconsistencies like this!

Where should I start looking to see why this is happening?

Cheers

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the motioneye OS network configuration scripts to see how STATIC DNS is parsed and passed to the DNS resolver. Look for any malformed string handling or missing removal of quotes.
