DNS failures
-
I have a home network using pfsense 2.7.0, working fine for over a year.
Today multiple clients on the network are unable resolve a hostname. Other network connections are working fine.
I've power-cycled the router and it clears the problem for a few minutes, and then it stops again.
I started with DNS server 1.1.1.1 and have switched to 8.8.8.8 (and other servers like 1.0.0.1 and 8.8.4.4). With each switch (no reboot) the DNS resolves for a few minutes and then stops working again.
If I change the client config to hard-code the DNS server 8.8.8.8, everything continues to work -- it is ONLY the DNS service going through pfsense.
I can ping the DNS servers without issue.Any idea of what I might be seeing?

@steve_gase upgrade to 2.7.2.
If you are forwarding in the Resolver settings, uncheck the option for DNSSEC.
If you are registering DHCP leases in DNS, note unbound restarts at every lease renewal.

@SteveITS -- thanks! I upgraded to 2.7.2 and disabled DNSSEC and everything is looking good so far. Much appreciated!!
