Dns forwarder
-
I have a problem using the dnsforwarder. The forwarder is working correctly, but I want to override one address. So I configured the address and the forward lookup ist working well. But I dont get any reverse lookup. Does the dns override only work in one way ?
ThanksPeter

Yes, it does not do reverse lookups.

My pfsense installation has three interfaces and I use one of these interfaces for ssl encrypted administration. Now I want the user to authenticate via a ssl encrypted page (someone has to document that max keylength to use here is 1024 bit - I tried 2048 bit…) and I thougt I could use the same certificate for that. But the dnsforwarder does only a forward lookup and the ssl certificate can not be verified this way.
Is there any reason to do no reverse lookups? -

seems that it can be done with local
