      Dear all
      In the NAT Port Forwarding section,I am forwarding the DNS[53]port to Open DNS direction, i.e. 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222. I am able to write the rule for 208.67.220.220. Whenever I'm trying to same the rule for 208.67.222.222, it's giving me the error message
      "The following input errors were detected:

      The destination port range overlaps with an existing entry."
      I am not able to redirect my traffic to the open DNS.
      Please help me.
      Thanks in advance.

          You cannot forward a single port (53) to more than one destination.
          Use pfSense DNS Forwarder (or DNS Resolver in forwarding mode) and have it query the OpenDNS servers.

          This is not a NAT issue.
