Verify FQDN alias entries?

[valnar]

I looked everywhere but can't find the CLI/SSH command to verify or troubleshoot alias entries that are FQDN. I understand it's supposed to update every 5 minutes, but how can I see that? Or if I wanted to change the interval, where is that? thanks.

@valnar You could export the aliases file, open up a text editor and insert host in the front of the FQDN and then paste the text into the cli:-

[22.01-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root: host downloads.snom.com
downloads.snom.com is an alias for rabbit.snom.com.
rabbit.snom.com has address 188.40.44.83
[22.01-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root:

Use nslookup if doing it from a Windows box.

Then have a look to see if its in the tables.

@nogbadthebad Thanks.

I was more looking for the process that does it every 5 minutes, and more minute logs to the process.

@valnar I'd assume it's a cron job so you could install the cron package (which shows the system jobs) and look for jobs running every 5 minutes.

System Logs -> System -> DNS Resolver

That's where i see if any of my FQDN Aliases has an error resolving.

Seems like the task is filterdns.
