well clearly pfsense is not answering your query.. So why is that - simple troubleshooting.. For starters if the forwarder or resolver even running? Check your services.

unbound resolver is stopped …. I tried to restart and not starting.
Back at work will try to find more articles on what caused that.... I have very rudimentary setup.
I have taken in back to factory reset and only changed the lan to 192.168.2.x
Nothing else installed
-
well if its not running.. That would explain why it didn't even tell you nx, or serv error.
What does the log say about unbound (resolver) not starting?
-
To fix I went to Services >>> DNS Resolver >>>> unclick Enable DNS Resolver >>>> Save
went back clicked DNS Resolver >>>> Save and unbound Service started ….
This must be some type of bug .... Maybe someone will have a solution or an upgrade.
I am checking this out at home before installing at work .... so far it is a no go .... to temperamental.
I need to use dansguardian or snort and virus guard of some sort .... may be need to and get paid untangle

I'm having a similar issue with Pfsense 2.2.
I have a clean install of pfsense on esxi and every week or so it will stop responding to DNS queries. I can ping the DNS server (8.8.8.8) just fine from the PC but i'm unable to access any web pages using the domain name. The way to fix this issue for me is to restart the unbound service. I have attached my settings for DNS resolver and the dns servers.
Here is the output for nslookup:

74.125.30.99
74.125.30.106I can provide more information if required.

There is another thread talking about unbound restarting.. If you are having an issue where unbound is having issue then yes it can stop.
Look in your logs is unbound restarting or stoping? If having issues with unbound, switch back to just the forwarder.

Unbound is not restarting on its own. I have to restart the service for it to start responding to DNS queries. i'll try forwarder and see how it works out.

Simple question but any idea why pfSense isn't replying with its hostname? nslookup comes back quickly but is listed as "Unknown". Is this a reverse DNS thing?
