Refusing connection when making httpGet request with mDNS

[chaplijt]

I have AsyncWebServer running on an ESP32 that was configured using PlatformIO. It has mDNS running and can be accessed from all web browsers using the mDNS ID.

It responds to all of the requests properly when in the form of http://109.168.2.xxx/yyyy. However when I try a request from an ESP32 that was configured from the arduino workspace using http://panel_monitor.local/yyyy I get a return code of -1 connection refused.

I have similar configurations of AsyncWebServer running on other ESP32's (configured from Arduino workspace) and they accept mDNS ID and respond appropriately

Appreciate any thoughts/ clues/etc

peace
