              I am also experiencing the issue. When I turn on the normal DNS Forwarding, the PFSense serves up the internet just fine.

              When I install the package for dns-server, de-activate the DNS forwarding, then enable the DNS forwarding from the DNS-server…. it stops resolving addresses.

              Anyone have a solution to that?

                actually turns out my DNS Server isn't even turning on. Nothing in the error logs to suggest as to why.

                I am using the embedded DNS server solution. Could that be the problem?

                  Go to "status -> Services". If the "svscan" service is not started, start it. "Then you will notice that the "DNS Server" service also started.

                    Did you take a look at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,25897.0.html ?
