DNS FQDNs not resolving from DMZ side of pfSense
-
I'm setting up a server on the DMZ of my new pfSense device: Static IP on server. Server gateway & DNS configured for DMZ IP of the pfSense box. I can ping IP addresses on the internet from DMZ but cannot ping using FQDNs and cannot otherwise access the internet from the DMZ server. All the LAN side computers connect fine. I'm also using HAProxy on the DMZ as well. Not sure how to troubleshoot the DMZ/HAproxy side of pfSense. LAN side was so easy

This server uses the DMZ interface as the DNS destination ?
Check : can you see DNS coming into the DMZ interface ?Does the resolver listen on the DMZ interface for DNS requests ?
Do you allow DNS traffic (port 53, TCP and UDP, destination "DMZ Address") on the DMZ interface ?
