      Hi,

      I'm very new in DNS at practice. I use Pfsense 2.0 + tinydns package. I have running a samba server as PDC on a different machine and I also want DNS for it on pfsense.

      So my net looks like that
                               Samba Server 192.168.1.200 workgroup = foo.intern
      int. 192.168.1.1  /
      pfsense <–---  192.168.1.0/24
                             
                               Clients

      My domain is foo.intern
      pfsense host: mcp
      Tinydns is binded at 127.0.0.1 and is listen on all NICs

      tinydns data, created with the wizard

      .foo.intern::ns.foo.intern.:30
      +foo.intern:192.168.1.1:30

      resolv.conf
      domain foo.intern
      nameserver 127.0.0.1
      nameserver 192.168.1.1
      nameserver 172.16.23.1 <--ISP DNS

      dns forwarder activated
      no dnscache
      the only thing which works is, ping mcp.foo.intern from all my clients but I cant reach any client hostnames.

      Thanks

        I have also a lot of problems getting DNScache to work, but TinyDNS seems to work fine for me if changing the Bind Address to the internal one.

          I cannot get this thing to work.

          My config:
          Binding to 127.0.0.1
          Interface to listen: all
          Enable recursive DNS responder: ON
          Zone transfers: 127.0.0.1

          When I try nslookup google.com 127.0.0.1, I get:
          Server:        127.0.0.1
          Address:        127.0.0.1#53

          Non-authoritative answer:
          *** Can't find google.com: No answer

          On log I get:
          2011-11-05 14:47:31.238454500        0.0.0.0:9673 A        responded                google.com

          Please help!

            If I take off: Enable recursive DNS responder, then on my log I get:

            2011-11-05 15:25:38.152130500         0.0.0.0:4055 A        not_authority            www.google.com

            Besides, my resolv.conf gets edited everytime I reboot/restart the server, where I stop that (script) ?
