3th DNS on Pfsense

[Spetterpoep]

Hi PFSense people,

at the moment I have a multi-wan setup with 3 WAN sides and 1 LAN side. Now I need 3 DNS servers to let it work proper. Now I need to setup a 3th DNS server. Of course I did some research. Now it seems that the function will apair in PFSense 1.3. Unfornately I aint so experienced with FreeBSD. So I have no clue how to do it manually.

Could any of you give me some tips where I could search?

Many thanks!

Diagnostics -> Backup/restore
backup all
edit the backup.xml and add the 3th <dnsserver>3th-dns-ip</dnsserver>
restore all

Two things…

#1: Another way to make a change like this is without a reload is:

• Make a backup (just to be safe!)
• Load up a WebGUI page with a save button
• Switch to a console window
• Edit /cf/conf/config.xml
• rm /tmp/config.cache
• Click "Save" on the WebGUI page you loaded earlier.

#2: Having said that, I was able to get a third DNS server to take this way -- but -- as soon as I went back to "System > General Setup" and clicked "Save" there, it wiped out the additional DNS servers.

So it might work, but YMMV...
