Firewalla local domain name

I'm not sure what happened recently; however, something has changed regarding the Firewalla local domain. 

I have been accessing the box via SSH using the local domain name firewalla.lan.  It's been a few days or so since I have logged in to check my docker container size but when I went to login today the name didn't resolve.  I went back to the app to confirm the local domain for the firewalla and noticed it has changed to fire.walla.  I can't seem to change it back and I can't remember where I initially set it to firewalla.lan. The rest of the local network uses .lan and .lan is the search domain for all devices.

Any ideas?

  Create a DNS Rule (if on Beta) or add a custom DNS entry through SSH for firewalla.lan, mapping to the IP address for your Firewalla.

  I’m wondering why it worked before without any special rules and how it got changed from Firewalla.lan to fire.walla. Seems like there is another way this can work.

  fire.walla always been there as a "special domain". Firewalla.lan should also work, if not, double check and make sure the device doing ssh is not VPN or using DoH
