      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: 10.0.0.1

      and 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: 10.0.0.2

      results…

      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
