      Hi,
      a very new to pfsense firewall.I installed and configured pfsense firewall on esxi host as vm with WAN port having static public IP and LAN port has static private ip(192.168.100.254)
      I configured dhcp server on LAN Port.(192.168.100.20-192.168.100.220)
      I need to install vmware vcenter virtual appliance on esxi host to configured with static ip (192.168.100.10) on same subnet on which is our pfsense LAN network (just out of dhcp pool) so that they are on same LAN network.

      Now, I need a FQDN for private IP(192.168.100.10) of virtual appliance and I want to use pfsense firewall as dns server to create FQDN for private networks or addresses and resolve them.

      But I am not figuring out, how can I do this DNS configuration on pfsense.

      Please help.

      Regards,
      Mandeep

        Host overrides will report back whatever address you tell it to for any host & domain you want. Services - DNS Resolver - Host Overrides.

            By trying it, perhaps? I don't know what other answer you might be expecting.
