      I have following newtwork
      WAN(pfsense),LAN to the server and DMZ to the wireles router (WLAN).

      When I try to open site with fqdn which is on my local server (LAN) i can't access it. I can ping and open only default site with IP. If I ping domain name I can see public IP.

      Server is working normaly from outside.

      What could be wrong?  ::)

        You need to setup split DNS so that your internal interfaces resolve the hostname to the private IP, not the public IP.

        NAT reflection may help, but it is not going to fix everything (especially not ping).
