DNS Resolving
-
Hi Guys
i am using Pfsense behind a domain controller .
my Domain controller is forwarding DNS request to the Pfsense.
Pfsense is using my ISP DNS.
when i add the pfsense into the DNS forwarder on my Domain controller somehow it doesn't resolve it !Pfsense is the gateway of my Domain controller.
i can pig Pfsense from the Domain controller and other computers on the network.
i can browse to the internet
i can ping the internet using name and ipPfsense Version is 2.2.2
please advise

Doesn't resolve what?? What are you clients using for dns?

My Client using My Domain controller as DNS, my Pfsense using my External DNS as forwarder "ISP DNS
when i add the Pfsense on the DNS Manager >> Forwarders >>> Pfsense IP it said "Unable to resolve "
i did it the otherway arround.
Pfsense forward the DNS Query to my Domain controller, and my domain controller to the ISP DNS. and it works.
dont know why pfsense wouldnt resolve with my Domain controller ! -
If all the computers on your network are already using the domain controller for DNS, then the forwarders on the domain controller should just go directly to the ISP's dns servers.
Like such:
Clients > Domain Controller DNS >ISP DNS
Just use pfsense as the gateway.

DNS Manager is unable to find (resolve) FQDN of your pfsense IP. This does not impact the use of pfsense as a forwarder in DNS Manager. If it bothers you then try adding a PTR record for your pfsense IP in the Reverse Lookup Zone in DNS Manager.

what? pfsense can use either something you forward to be it your isp dns or opendns or level3 4.2.2.2 or could be its own resolver. But yeah if your clients are all using ad dns, there is little point in having pfsense be another hop in your dns queries. Either have your ad dns forward to something or have it directly resolve as well.
You could even point pfsense to your AD dns if you wanted too.
