      I have DNS forwarding setup on PFSense for my LAN. I have an Internal DNS server for home.local. I have all my clients pointing to PFSense as it's DNS server. I would like for PFSense use my Internal DNS server for anything home.local and everything else use the regular ISP's DNS. Is this possible and if so how can I accomplish this?

        @mrjoli021 In the DNS Resolver settings, at the bottom, in Domain Overrides, add one home.local entry with one IP for each DNS server (the server's IP on the LAN).

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
