DNS Forwarder forwards all queries

mikepell · May 5, 2013, 11:25 PM

As of the latest two snapshots, the DNS forwarder is forwarding everything. It is not returning any locally configured overrides or dhcp reservations.

I did verify that "Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder" is checked.

I have reverted to Apr 30 as that was the latest backup I had.

If I can provide any more information, please let me know.

I have updated 1 system to 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sun May 5 07:29:11 EDT 2013
In DNS Forwarder I have the following:
Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder - checked
Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder - checked
Require domain - checked
Do not forward private reverse lookups - checked
A handful of Host Overrides including some aliases.
Domain overrides that send queries for various internal namespaces across OpenVPN links to internal DNS servers.

It all seems to be working - /etc/hosts has lots of stuff in it and I can resolve names that are in the Host Overrides section and names that are from DNS servers across OpenVPN links, and names out in internet-land.

If you still have a problem, post detail of your DNS Forwarder settings.

Yesterday I had the same problem. I went back to the backup snapshot, where it worked, and then updated the firmware is up to the latter. Now it works.

I have the same problem and i've the last build of pfsense 2.1 (but on amd64) and the same configiguration as you stated by Phil : static leases don't work.
I see one dynamic lease in /etc/hosts, no static lease. If i manualy update /etc/hosts and put information for a static lease, then it works (but that's not a solution beacause it go away when /etc/hosts got regenerated).

EDIT : sorry i've not seen the other post about it (but i 've a build 2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
built on Thu May 2 17:27:55 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8)
and the dashboard says "You are on the latest version." ==> i will apply the patch by hands…

I can confirm, static entries don't work on "2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sun May 5 07:29:51 EDT 2013", particularly, I have "Resolve DHCP mappings first" unchecked, as I need to override a DHCP lease with a common name (VMs)

I can confirm it is working properly in 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sun May 5 07:29:51 EDT 2013.

It definitely did not work when I updated to the May 4 snapshot.

Also, sorry I missed the other posting on this somehow.

Applying the patch by hands on the last amd64 version worked fine…
