      I've been trying to use the dns-server package to use as a primary server for an internal domain.  That part works fine, but I can't get zone transfers (axfr) to work so I can slave the zones on external bind DNS servers.

      So far I have tried turning off the DNS forwarder and binding the DNS server address to the LAN interface.  When I test it using this command:

      dig @pfsensebox test.bogus AXFR

      fails with:

      ;; communications error to 10.1.0.251#53: end of file

      but this works:

      dig @fssensebox test.bogus SOA

      I get the exact same results if I try to bind the DNS server to 127.0.0.1 and port forward TCP 53 from the LAN to the loopback.

      I've search the forums, but I have not run across anything on how to get this working.  Any help would be appreciated.

        I didn't read all of your post, but it seems you want to do something tinydns doesn't support:

          I figured out how to fix pfSense and I posted in your thread:
