      Hi all,

      Ran into trouble with interfaces, i guess.

      Here is the deal:

      wan: 1.1.1.1
      virtual ips: 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3, 1.1.1.4, 1.1.1.5
      lan: 10.1.0.1
      dmz: 10.1.200.1

      I configured NAT:
      1.1.1.2:80 -> 10.1.200.2:80
      1.1.1.2:3389 -> 10.1.200.2:3389
      1.1.1.3:80 -> 10.1.200.3:80
      1.1.1.4:80 -> 10.1.200.4:80
      1.1.1.5:80 -> 10.1.200.5:80

      DNS records for LAN:
      a.domain.com - 1.1.1.2
      b.domain.com - 1.1.1.3
      c.domain.com - 1.1.1.4
      d.domain.com - 1.1.1.5

      Works well from outside!

      However, when from LAN i visit a.domain.com it show pfSense login page.
      I tried making DNS records to DMZ directly:
      a.domain.com - 10.1.200.2
      b.domain.com - 10.1.200.3
      c.domain.com - 10.1.200.4
      d.domain.com - 10.1.200.5

      Unfortunately, getting the same login page.
      But, when I visit DMZ server by IP, it shows the server's default(nginx,IIS) page.

      What could be the problem?

      Thanx!
