      I need some extra eyes lookup over my setup  ::)

      I'm running 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) with the following setup

      System / General Setup

      DNS server settings:
          server1: 208.67.220.220 WAN_DHCP
          server2: 208.67.222.222 WAN_DHCP
          DNS Server Override: disabled
          Disable DNS Forwarder : enabled

      Services / DNS Resolver /General Settings

      Enable DNS Resolver : disabled

      Services / DNS Forwarder

      Enable DNS forwarder : enabled
          DHCP Registration : enabled
          Static DHCP : enabled
          Prefer DHCP : disabled
          DNS query forwarding : disabled
          Require domain : enabled
          Do not forward private reverse lookups : enabled
          interfaces LAN, localhost
      Services / DHCP Server /LAN

      DHCP Static Mappings for this Interface
          List of my local hosts

      Running on pfSense the Diagnostics / DNS Lookup
      external lookups work fine, but local lookups fail.

      On hosts, local lookups are fine, but nslookup's from pfsense bypass opendns

      What have I setup wrong?

        "but nslookup's from pfsense bypass opendns"

        Did you setup to pfsense to ask itself?  Ie the loopback address 127.0.0.1?  Or did you check that to disable? Did you turn off dhcp dns override via dhcp?  That should be unchecked.

          Thanks johnpoz.

          Turned out I had disabled the DNS Resolver and saved the setting, but did not apply the change.
          Wen you leave the page and apply other pages, this page is not applied. You need to apply each page, if it's changed.  :-[
          I also disabled the [b]Disable DNS Forwarder setting as you recommended.
          All seems to be working fine now.

          Thank you, appreciate your time and effort!
