<p dir="auto">I would be very much intrested on how you were able to run only the dnscache on LAN interface. I assume it must be through the shell.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">its actually pretty straight forward but just to answer your obvious question, yes you will have to use the shell to configure DJBDNS package to function as a dnscache.</p>
<p dir="auto">1. the first thing you have to do is set pfsense to become a standalone server (use the WAN side for all connection i.e. public IP or internal IP and just use an unused subnet for the LAN side); There's a discussion on how this is done but im just pressed for time to search the exact thread</p>
<p dir="auto">2. Follow the config guide from DJBDNS site on how to install a cache only server, minus the install (tinydns package will install the stuff you need) but pay attention on which service supervise will load i.e. /service should have dnscache (default will install tinydns)</p>
<p dir="auto">3. you can also create an authoritative only - but if im not mistaken the default install for the Tinydns package already does this - im not quite sure cause i never used that function</p>
<p dir="auto">the rest is magic :) ..also dont forget to create firewall rules to limit access to DNS only</p>
