      Hi everyone,

      I have a setup with VIPs on WAN and some Load Balancing pointing to LAN Layer7 Proxy servers. Works just fine when you access from outside world, but as for many people, the problem is accessing the same from the LAN. The split-view dns work-around is too complicated to setup (I have to mirror LB setting for LAN VIPs, and change dns setting each time the new FQDN is added to point to the network). I looked for the solution in the Net and this one looks clean and simple:

      I know, on pfSense, it will not work out of the box, but can someone help me to find the best approach to implement this form my setup?

      Thank you for your help!

        It's possible to workarounbd this using outbound NAT on the internal interface but it's ugly:
