    Hi there,
    I'm posting because with the help of the guys down at #pfsense irc channel, i have fixed the issue.
    Actually the problem was our internal DNS server didn't know where to find www.acme.com.
    So we created a rule pointing www.acme.com to the external web server IP address.
    It started working right away.
    Cheers

    I thought it was solved, but then I reopened my browser only to find that it does not work.  I had, for the time being, entered it as an entry under dns forwarder

    @bolerodan:

    Im curious if this has been fixed or figured out. I'll have to use a Dell Switch with PFSense very soon so its interesting to see some insight on Vlans with PFSense and Dell Switches

    Dell switches with VLANs work fine, my prior post may have implied otherwise, but that's limited only to span port functionality on the switch. I've done some deployments with over 100 VLANs on Dell switches. This isn't a general problem with Dell switches or pfSense, simply a configuration problem.

    The reboot seems to have taken care of the problem. Many thanks.

    @machado:

    @wallabybob. How can do it?

    In web GUI: Status -> System Logs, click on DHCP tab.

    Do whatever it is you do to get the DHCP client to send a DHCP request, wait a minute or so then look in the DHCP log to see that the DHCP request has been received. The DHCP server logs the requests (including the source MAC address) and the responses it sends.

    I found a couple of gateway devices that will do what I want. Of course they're in the $2000-$4000 range so that's not going to happen. And the companies are rather closed mouth about the methods used to enable this "zero configuration" ability. The two companies i've found are Nomadix and EthoStream. I'll keep on searching though. Thanks for the feedback folks.

    I've been so busy I haven't had time to get back to this.

    I spent a LOT of time I didn't have dealing with this, then, about two days ago, I tried to go back to the original system for DNS/DHCP and suddenly none of the computers could communicate at all – not even by IP address!

    I pulled all the CAT5 from the main switch, except for the connection between my iMac and my firewall and they started talking and DNS was working.  Then I added one more computer, it worked, and I added the others in steps and now it's working.

    Do systems in a LAN talk with each other or cache information that others can get?  Because now it's working perfectly, but it took pulling almost every system off the LAN to make it work.

    you need to install the tinyDNS package for pf to be a dns server in the way you want.

    I've done it in pfSense 2 Beta4.
    Just in short:

    First, it's not send vendor-class-identifier but send dhcp-class-identifier.
    This is different from other dhcp clients, but using dhcp-class-identifier does send option-60.
    You may also need other options. Just compare dhcp requests with a sniffer…

    To get it persitent, you need to modify the /etc/inc/interfaces.inc file.
    If you only have one external interface you need to find the place where it writes the dhclient_wan.conf file.
    (this differs from version to version!)
    Here you should find the lines that write:

            $dhclientconf .= <<<eod<br>interface "{$wanif}" { timeout 60; retry 1; select-timeout 0; initial-interval 1;</eod<br>

    You may add any line you like there.

    If you have, like me, one WAN interface for internet and another going to the IPTV network and you only want the extra dhcp options on that one, you need to add some intelligence with something like:

    if ($wanif == "re2") { ... (your modified setup) else { ... (a copy of the original setup) }

    You will make any modifications at your own risk! Make backups!
    One last thing, this modification will not survive an pfSense update!

    YOU DID IT!!!

    I had never configured a NAT rule, so I never checked them.  However, it appears that the firewall had configured a NAT rule for external management.  I deleted that rule, and IT WORKS!!!!

    Thanks for taking the time and expending your neurons to help me.

    Anyone have a copy of dhclient from 8.0 that they'd be willing to send me?

    Thanks in advance, and much kudos to cb831!

    edit: I got impatient so I downloaded the 220MB iso to extract the 77K file ;)

    It appears to be working, I'm now getting:
    Aug 16 17:30:35 dhclient[63382]: bound to 99.99.207.xxx – renewal in 300 seconds.
    Aug 16 17:30:35 dhclient[63382]: DHCPACK from 99.99.206.xxx
    Aug 16 17:30:35 dhclient[63382]: DHCPREQUEST on vlan0 to 10.0.0.1 port 67

    Instead of:
    Aug 16 17:11:03 dhclient[18353]: bound to 99.99.207.xxx – renewal in 300 seconds.
    Aug 16 17:11:03 dhclient[18353]: DHCPACK from 99.99.206.xxx
    Aug 16 17:11:03 dhclient[18353]: SENDING DIRECT
    Aug 16 17:11:03 dhclient[18353]: DHCPREQUEST on vlan0 to 10.0.0.1 port 67

    Hopefully it won't be dropping now.
