DNS Lookup werid error
-
on pfsense DHCP -> for DNS servers i specified my "virtual lan" as the DNS server which is 10.0.0.1 ( i am using carp)
when I do an nslookup on a client it says
Server: unknown
ip address: 10.0.0.1and then my results
if i change the dhcp dns to use the physical lan ip to 10.0.0.2 an nslookup will result with
Server: pf145.ansc.purdue.edu (my hostname of the firewall)
Ip Address: 10.0.0.2results…
any way to get it to say the hostname of 10.0.0.1?
-
a small workaround was in the dns forwarder area i put 10.0.0.1 -> the hostname of my choice
