DNS Settings
-
I'm unsure of what name servers to have listed in my setup. I have DNS installed on two windows servers. Should I have these listed in pfsense? Should the domain be my actual windows domain? Here is the current resolv.conf
[2.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root(1): cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain localdomain
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 69.89.74.4
nameserver 69.89.70.4I ask this because I cannot access packages from the GUI. Here is the error I receive:
Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and that pfSense has functional Internet connectivity.When I try to traceroute to pfsense I get the following:
[2.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root(11): traceroute pfsense.com
traceroute: unknown host pfsense.comThank you for assisting me.

nameserver 69.89.74.4 isn't answering but another one is.
Do you have dns servers running on windwos servers? -

Do you have dns servers running on windwos servers?I do. I have two running

do you have set forwarders or root hints working on those?
if so you could try if those work better.
try with windowscmd nslookup lserver "ip-address of your windows dns server" 8.8.8.8 <- there should come google-public-dns-a.google.com www.google.com <- there should come few ip-addresses and url's
if those work you could change the dns to internal.
but i'm using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 by pfsense and dhcp is sharing internal dns(windows DC)

I do not fall into this scenario.

X:>nslookup
Default Server: server1.domain.local
Address: 10.0.1.1008.8.8.8
Server: server1.domain.local
Address: 10.0.1.100Name: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8www.google.com
Server: server1.domain.local
Address: 10.0.1.100Non-authoritative answer:

74.125.65.147
74.125.65.99

then you can use internal dns servers on pfsense or you could use 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

So my ISP name servers just plain suck i assume?
