DNS forwarder not working on query mode

[johnpoz]

@la6er said in DNS forwarder not working on query mode:

so apperantly my pfsense is only using the first DNS 172.16.1.63 which does not know 10.45.33.201

That is WHY you never setup more than 1 DNS, unless your multiple DNS resolve the same stuff. If you want to use specific name server than knows how to resolve host.something.xyz then you would use a domain override to tell pfsense where to go ask for records in something.xyz

[La6er]

@johnpoz I have used domain override to set 2 different domains .home and .office if I set this 2 entries on domain override it indeed gets me the IP but I cannot resolve ips in reverse... is there a way to do this ?

[Derelict]

Yeah. You also have to do a domain override for the in-addr.arpa domain for those addresses.

[La6er]

@derelict I have set a domain override 10.45.33.in-addr.arpa pointed to DNS 10.45.1.60 but still not working... is this current config correct?

I don't see any config.

[La6er]

this is how i have set my domain override at this moment

the second entrie is working fine everything x.sduop.net is resolving correctly through 10.45.1.60, however reverse is not working

I am currently testing with this host as example

n00214wsw7ws102.sduop.net
server: pfsense3.geq.net
Address: 10.30.251.59

Non-authoritative response:
name: n00214wsw7ws102.sduop.net
Address: 10.45.33.201

_______________________________________________-
10.45.33.201
Servidor: pfsense3.geq.net
Address: 10.30.251.59

*** pfsense3.geq.net do not find 10.45.33.201: Non-existent domain

@derelict said in DNS forwarder not working on query mode:

in-addr.arpa

Shouldn't it be 33.45.10.in-addr.arpa?

[johnpoz]

^exactly a ptr zone for a network of 10.45.33 would be as KOM stated.. Your way would be for a network 33.45.10

[La6er]

Thanks a lot guys !! it is working now as expected ! I really appreciate your help !

[johnpoz]

I would prob adjust your NS you have listed in pfsense - pointing to NS that can not resolve the same stuff is destined for grief..

If your going to forward, all the NS you forward to should resolve the same stuff. If your NS can not both resolve the same stuff I would just pick one, and then use overrides for domains a different NS can resolve.

[La6er]

@johnpoz Thanks a lot, I do have 2 DNS server which resolve different stuff... so I am going with the domain override option and pick 1 as a general DNS on the forwarder

[Derelict]

@kom Well, yeah. Just pointing in the right direction.

[KOM]

@derelict Haha I didn't actually mean to reply to you, but to him. No idea how that happened.
