      You can configure the DHCP server to pass some other DNS servers to those clients that are using the WAN directly.

      It's possible to run both DNS servers in pfSense with one on a different port. You can then forward requests to that from selected clients like those using WAN. I wouldn't recommend that setup though.

          Running both DNS servers in very unusual. You can hit issues no-one else has found just because no-one else is doing it!

          I have done it in the past and it worked fine but that a while ago.

            @stephenw10 ah ok and then no one really has answers cuz they dont see it.. i get it and the 1 offs its hard to deal with

            ya its confusing like it works and doesnt work go figure right nothing is perfect.... (: but i appreciate the help so far least to try to do it.. or i just stick with the VPN clients and let the wan comps connect to just the prefill cache i dunno how will it works all together i havent tested it much as its only used for prefill when i use the lancache i actually use the pfsense 192.168.0.1 and it points to to the lancache lol

            always learning (:
