      I understand now, the clients on the network all point to pfsense for dns, apologies I misunderstood the question.

        Ok then for split dns - all you have to do is create a host override in the dns your using either unbound (resolver) which is the default. Or if you are using dnsmasq (forwarder) then you would make the overrides there.

        For the fqdn you want to resolve.. www.domain.tld, pointing to the IP address of the local server your httpd is running on - 192.168.1.100 for example.

        There you go done.. As long as your browser isn't using doh and not using your local dns.

          Thank you both for all your help, I'll make the changes now.

          Do I keep all the other settings in place?

            Yes you can keep the other settings in place. That way if you have clients that are not using pfSense, for DNS for whatever reason, they will still be able to hit the servers using the url.
