Do Pfsense Support Hairpinning
-
Hello all do pfsense support hairpinning? Recently I just implemented a Avaya IP solution everything worked fine except when I had to configure Avaya one x portal for mobile users to use the app. I end up configuring a split dns in order to get this to work. Someone advise me i need to get a cisco firewall which has hairpinning and I will be fine.
Any suggestions.

Yes, reflection is what you're looking for. But you're better off with split DNS as it's never great to unnecessarily loop traffic through the firewall.

Agreed, nat reflection is not something you want to do.. Why hairpin the traffic if you don't have too?
