DNS forwarder w/ domain overrides: problem with new entries
-
Hi
I am using pfSense 24.03 with
- DNS forwarder enabled
- domain override to use my LAN DNS server
Ex : domain=lan.local, DNS IP=192.168.1.1
Whenever I have a new entry in my LAN - correctly registered in my local DNS, I must wait a LONG time or restart dnsmaq (DNS Forwarder) service on pfSense.
Any hint to improve the situation?Step 1 : DNS request on local DNS server OK :
C:\>nslookup new.lan.local 192.168.1.1 Server: dns.lan.local Address: 192.168.1.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: new.lan.local Address: 192.168.1.67
Step 2 : DNS request on pfSense DNS server failed
C:>nslookup nslookup new.lan.local 192.168.1.254 Server: pfsense.lan.local Address: 192.168.1.254 *** pfsense.lan.local can't find new.lan.local : Non-existent domain
Step 3 : Same request with services restarted on my pfsense
C:>nslookup nslookup new.lan.local 192.168.1.254 Server: pfsense.lan.local Address: 192.168.1.254 Non-authoritative answer: Name: new.lan.local Address: 192.168.1.67
