Custom DNS Resolve

jester600 · Jul 28, 2006, 7:38 AM

I run a few web sites behind the firewall. Unless I edit the host file on the machines Im not able to access the web sites from the internal network.

Ive poked around & havnt seen an option to resolve my domains to my servers internal ip. Is there a way to do this? I can do custom dns resolve w/ my dsl modem but that does work any longer since Ive put pfsense into place.

Services DNS Forwarder allows for this.

Other option might be to use nat reflection (turn it on at system>advanced). This way your internal servers can be accessed by the public IP.

dns forwarder doesnt seem to work. I tried that before posting.

I unchecked "disable nat redirect" & I had to reset pf as I couldnt accessing anything including pfsense. ???

Both features work. There must be something you are doing wrong. Which version are your running? I also haven't experienced that the machine locks up for a long time (and it never locked up for me when enabling this feature yet).

1.0 rc1

The machine didnt lock up. Hooked up a monitor & just reset to factory so I probly do have something set wrong somewhere. Its not a major issue so will probly wait till next wk when I have some more time.
