DNS forwarder over IPSec VPN tunnel
-
Hi there.
I'm runnng pfsense 1.2-release at home and have setup a VPN (IPSec) connection to my work network successfully. I can ping all hosts in the work network from my client. Now I'd like to use the hostnames at work to connect. I tested a dig from a client at home to the name server at work. That worked.
I then create an entry called office.zz with the dns server ip 172.30.129.10 in the dns forwarder page as a entire domain forwarding. This doesn't seem to work. The logs tell me that for this domain the work dns server will be used:dnsmasq[2993]: using nameserver 172.30.129.10#53 for domain office.zz
but I cannot resolve any hostname in office.zz. When I login to the shell of my pfsense I try to ping 172.30.129.10. This does not work, although from a client in my home lan it works. Anyone sees a problem?
My setup:
Home network: 192.168.11.0/24
pfsense LAN: 192.168.11.1/24
pfsense WAN: DHCP (CableProvider)Office network: 172.30.129.0/24
Office name server: 172.30.129.10VPN is up and running. I can connect, ping, rdp, ssh to all hosts in the office network but IP addresses only. No dns names.

Have you set up a static route on your pfSense machine to your office's LAN?
IIRC you have to do this with IPSec tunnels. Route it through the LAN interface of pfSense.
