      I have DNS forwarding setup on PFSense for my LAN. I have an Internal DNS server for home.local. I have all my clients pointing to PFSense as it's DNS server. I would like for PFSense use my Internal DNS server for anything home.local and everything else use the regular ISP's DNS. Is this possible and if so how can I accomplish this?

        @mrjoli021 In the DNS Resolver settings, at the bottom, in Domain Overrides, add one home.local entry with one IP for each DNS server (the server's IP on the LAN).

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
