Multi-WAN DNS - not enought entry fields?
-
Long time reader, first time poster. I even own the book (!)
I am attempting to set up a failover configuration on a 3-wan environment. The book and the posts appear to indicate that each WAN connection (each is a different ISP) will need its own DNS and static route to that DNS so that WANs 2 and 3 can resolve names when WAN1 is down. However, the general setup page on pfSense only allows me space to enter two DNS values. How am I to record the DNS for the third WAN/ISP so that I can later create a static route to it?
I fear I'm missing something…
-
If you use a dns server (ping able) as monitor ip a static route will automatic be created for it.
-
If I recall correctly, you can edit the config file (viconfig from console or backup/edit/restore) and add two more additional dns server tags that aren't accessible via the gui in 1.2.x.
