    Hi
    Running pfsense Version 24.11-RELEASE.

    Can someone please help me troubleshoot why internal/local domain is not resolving to IPv6, but external domains properly resolve to IPv6:.

    Internal domain does not resolve to IPv6, only resolves to IPv4:

    nslookup officevm-1
    Server: syn-2603-8001-3400-4a00-02e0-edff-fec4-b04e.res6.spectrum.com
    Address: 2603:8001:3400:4a00:2e0:edff:fec4:b04e

    Name: officevm-1.skubsad.com
    Address: 192.168.221.100

    External domains resolve to IPv6 and IPv4 correctly:

    nslookup microsoft.com
    Server: syn-2603-8001-3400-4a00-02e0-edff-fec4-b04e.res6.spectrum.com
    Address: 2603:8001:3400:4a00:2e0:edff:fec4:b04e

    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: microsoft.com
    Addresses: 2603:1030:b:3::152
    2603:1030:20e:3::23c
    2603:1030:c02:8::14
    2603:1020:201:10::10f
    2603:1010:3:3::5b

    13.107.253.69

    Running ISC DHCPv6 server:

    67c79397-9ed9-4ad0-a33f-f7e38121472d-image.png

    Router Advertisement set to DHCPv6 server:

    076e5d5f-e7d5-4492-8ea8-1aa2c551bc62-image.png

    DNS Resolver enabled on IPv6 interfaces:

    5abcfbde-fb7a-4685-addb-90fb04517b34-image.png

    DHCPv6 leases are showing up, although without hostname:

    4177655d-c3ed-4bc6-9d7e-94180c3c3d2d-image.png

    I'd appreciate any pointers or help.

    Thanks in advance.

      @smk you may need to include the nslookup parameter -type=aaaa in your query. I believe by default nslookup only returns ipv4 records on most machines.

        @Mission-Ghost : Thanks. Same nslookup without -type=AAAA on same machines returns IPv6 for external domains.

        Forcing AAAA in nslookup for internal domains, returns this:

        nslookup -type=AAAA officevm-1
        Server: syn-2603-8001-3400-4a00-02e0-edff-fec4-b04e.res6.spectrum.com
        Address: 2603:8001:3400:4a00:2e0:edff:fec4:b04e

        ***** No IPv6 address (AAAA) records available for officevm-1**
