      Hi all,
      New to this....

      The issue I have come up against is the following.
      Currently moved form a Virtual pfsense instance to a hardware dedicated instance.
      I run Traefik proxy behind the FW to give my SSL to all my services that I run behind the FW.
      After migrating to the new pfsense the only thing that does not work via traefik is pfsense WebGui, everything else no issue.

      DNS flow as follows for none public domains :

      PC Request -> Pihole (Adblock only) -> pfsense (DNS Resolver domain override) -> Local Bind9 Server -> Traefik -> Service
      

      Some initial testing/fault finding :-

      NSLOOKUP for pfSense using its working configured local domain in Traefik :

      user@linuxpc:~# nslookup pfsense.home.local
      Server:         127.0.0.53
      Address:	127.0.0.53#53
      
      Non-authoritative answer:
      Name:	  pfsense.home.local
      Address:  <return pfsense internal IP not the expected IP>
      

      NSLOOKUP for Authentik. using its configured local domain in Traefik

      user@linuxpc:~$ nslookup authentik.home.local
      Server:	        127.0.0.53
      Address:	127.0.0.53#53
      
      Non-authoritative answer:
      Name:	 authentik.home.local
      Address: 192.168.xxx.xxx <returns correct Bind9 configured IP for traefik>
      

      NSLOOKUP for pfsense.something.local using directly using the Bind9 server IP

      user@linuxpc:~$ nslookup pfsense.something.local 192.168.1.4 <bind9 ip>
      Server:		192.168.1.4
      Address:	192.168.1.4#53
      
      Name:	  pfsense.home.local
      Address:  192.168.xxx.xxx <returns correct Bind9 configured IP for traefik>
      

      Using the Authentik domain name in the browser opens the authentik webpage with a secure SSL
      Using the pfsense domain name in the browser does nothing but times out.

      Any help or pointers would be great.
