          comes up with nothing??  You mean you just get blank line??

          Can you ping that IP

          [2.3.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local.lan]/root: ping 212.56.128.132
          PING 212.56.128.132 (212.56.128.132): 56 data bytes

          64 bytes from 212.56.128.132: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=157.865 ms
          64 bytes from 212.56.128.132: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=156.402 ms
          64 bytes from 212.56.128.132: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=156.760 ms

          what do you mean comes up with nothing??  Doesn't give you a failure doesn't give you a time out?  Just nothing??

          even if use some BS IP that doesn't answer dns.. you get something..

                    Yeah I thought this was a familiar domain ;)  But I currently resolve it without any issue.. But can not seem to get the OP to post up stuff that validates he is having issues talking to the NS..

                    If I can reslove it from this side of the planet.. you would think he should not have any issues when he is on the same part of the planet as the NS ;)

                    But yeah info has been like teeth pulling with a pair of chopsticks..

                    @Chrismallia could you just give me remote access to your pfsense??  This would make it so much easier to figure out what the actual issue is.. Other than the domain in question has issues with their dns..  I just want to validate that you can not even talk to their NS..

                      Curious to know if @Chrismallia still uses the Malteser-ISP DNS-server anywhere in his pfSense config…
                      (and just not a clean use of the pfSense Resolver on 127.0.0.1).

                        I would be curious as well..  I am hoping he will just give me remote access and can put this to bed finally ;)

                              So I got in via TV, and ssh Yeah for whatever reason he can not talk to the NS for that domain.  Which is ODD since that is his ISP!!!  The dns servers they hand out via dhcp are different then the NS for that domain..  He can talk to them just fine.. WTF??

                              So put him back in forwarder mode, so until he works it out with his ISP or changes - which he mentioned they looking at..

                              We can call this thread closed I would think.. Unless you have some questions Chrismallia..  Thanks for giving me remote access – made it so much faster to actually validate that you could not talk to them!!
