DNS Servers for ISP ? Can we use pfSense ?
-
"so its done once and forever ?"
Huh?? Nothing is done once and forever in IT.. There are security patches, hardware refresh, etc.. I would not setup pfsense just to run a dns server.. How many users of your ISP??? How is having your own dns the best experience? Most users would much rather just run their own resolver or use a public dns than some lame isp dns that has to ask on a public forum…

1. I have 500 users now and it will be around 2000 in next 1 year.
2. Im using google DNS now. Its works fine, but I need my DNS so I can get more less latency.
3. We tell our customers to use our own IP only and everyone customers only does what we say.So, whats the solution ?
-
I think he's implying that an ISP shouldn't have to query a firewall forum how to do DNS caching. I would tend to agree.
If I were you I would roll my own BIND or unbound servers, probably using ubuntu LTS, redundantly virtualized, and geographically diverse if possible.
-
Okay so basically pfSense is firewall only.
Did not know about it.About the DNS BIND thing, shall I follow this tutorial to do it in my server ?

hehehehe –- there must be a HUGE language barrier... I think I know what an ISP is, and sorry but you shouldn't be running one if you have to ask about setting up dns... Or don't have staff to do that for you..
And with statements like this "so its done once and forever" shouldn't even be in IT from any angle..

Well if I had known, I would have never posted it here.
I guess, its not a sin to not know and ask something!
If thats offending in this forum, then I might be in a wrong place. -

If thats offending in this forum, then I might be in a wrong place.There are a few in these forums that seem to be pretty network knowledgeable with an apparent need to be condescending. I just view them as having an inferiority complex and use condescension to make them feel superior.

That's it, exactly. (Where was your tutelage in setting up caching DNS servers for this "ISP"?)

-
What do I need ?
You need to hire competent staff or do different business.
Okay, thank you for your suggestion!

I told him exactly what he needed to do, in terms more basic than anyone responsible for DNS caching at any ISP of any size should require. Then I got more n00b questions.
