      How the heck do you disable the DNS suffix on pfSense 1.2.2 embedded? I just can't figure it out! >:(
      The DHCP server automatically serves it to all clients, and it breaks DNS on my subnet.

      This is how my /etc/resolv.conf looks like on a linux client that requests a lease from the router:

      domain mydomain.com
      search mydomain.com

      nameserver 192.168.1.1

      Those lines in bold shouldn't be there.
      Removing them by hand fixes the DNS issue.
      See previous thread.

        This just a guess but try removing the Domain setting in  System: General Setup.

          It does not work. the domain name is mandatory.

          The following input errors were detected:
              * The field 'Domain' is required.

            1. Why not use domain.local or somesuch?
            2. Reflection is a cheap hack for the lazy, there are better ways of going about it.

              Hey, that seems to have worked! Thanks.
              Nat reflection is working properly. I am using it because I'm lazy the domain has a wildcard forward rule at my ISP's DNS server. Trying to access any subdomain from my LAN doesn't quite work.

                Oh, that explains why you were getting the weird behavior described in the previous thread.

                  Funny thing is this has never happened on my linksys WRT54GL with dd-wrt that I was using prior installing pfSense/Alix.
                  Anyway, [SOLVED].
