      Hi

      I'm running pfsense (build date Wed Nov 24 03:27:06 EST 2010) as a firewall and DNS server.
      On the local LAN I have a webserver (ok, i know this should be an a DMZ ::) ), when i try to access this webserver using the DNS-name I'm getting a message saying "Potential DNS rebind attack detected".

      I have tried to remove the block for both block private and bogus networks but this didn't help.

      Is there anyway to let my local PC's access the webserver using DNS-name? The webserver has more than one DNS-name so I can't access it via the IP.

      Thanks

        Port forwards on WAN only work for traffic coming in on WAN, so you are actually accessing the router there, not your web server on the LAN.
