      That wouldn't be relevant to PPP DNS.

      This really isn't relevant to the DNS forwarder in general. If your PPP-assigned DNS servers aren't making it into your DNS settings (/etc/resolv.conf) then it's more likely a problem with the PPP linkup script.

        Could you maybe try to narrow it down to which specific snapshot broke that for you?

        In my case I let the system update via the web interface to the latest snapshot on the evening of 8/15/13 and when the system restarted the DNS servers were not assigned from the pppoe connection.Ā  The system was on the 8/10 snapshot prior to this and I hadn't seen the problem with that version, or any earlier versions.Ā  I did not install any of the snapshots between the 10th and 15th unfortunately.Ā  Let me know if there's any further info that might be helpful, I'm not sure if there's a record stored anywhere of the exact versions installed and when.

          Seeing the same thing over here, for me it was 8/15 and 8/16 Snapshot.
          I have not checked snapshot after 16th cus I put in DNS server manually and that fixed it.

            I have not checked snapshot after 16th as put in DNS server manually.

            So 8/15 was OK and 8/16 broke it? Or did 8/15 break it (and if so, what snap were you on before 8/15?)

                  If you look in /var/etc/ - do you have any "nameserver_*" files there? (Where * = your interface name)

                    This may have been caused by https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/1702a838194d2f4ffaa99359f888a42b0832472a which was accidentally put on 2.1 when it was meant for master (2.2) only, it will be gone from the next snapshot so try it again once that shows up later tonight.

                          Jim,

                          I think you were right, just updated to 2.1-RC1 (amd64)Ā  built on Mon Aug 19 16:16:39 EDT 2013 and it seems to be fixed.Ā  My nameserver_pppoe0 was empty before the update and now contains the DNS servers.Ā  I removed them from the System: General Setup screen and it's working again.

                          thanks,
                          Bill

                              Hello,
                              I confirm, on the very last snapshot (built on Mon Aug 19 16:16:08 EDT 2013) the DNSes got from the PPP connection are successfully used, the file /var/etc/nameserver_pppoe0 contains the DNS, and everything works great again…

                              Thanks a lot Jim!!
