I am running a pihole (DNS+DHCP) on a pi with the hostname deimos. I have another pi with the hostname phobos. I also have a Windows machine that I use to ssh to both of these. In my powershell terminal on Windows I can type ping phobos and it shows me this output

PS D:\> ping phobos
Pinging phobos.home [192.168.1.11] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.11: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

I can also run ping deimos:

PS D:\> ping deimos
Pinging deimos.local [2a00:23c4:4245:b01:8af4:6362:8396:926e] with 32 bytes of data:

Would I be correct to assume that demios.local is from mDNS?

And why and how does the phobos ping get resolved to phobos.home?

I have nothing set up in the “Local DNS” pi hole options, but I do have Phobos set to a static IP in the DHCP options
