Pfsense and bind = nat failure

[Pehesis]

Hi

I need some help with an issue, i recently installed pfsense on an old pc and has been working great. On my network i have a web/ftp/email/dns/ server and it was the local dns server as well i thought it would a good i dea to use pfsense as the local dns server to resolve hostname for local devices, and keep my mulit server running as is. In pfsense i installed the bind package and set it up a zone for mynetwork.com and create a bunch of A records to point to diffrent devices eg.. [ router A 192.168.1.1] hoping that when i type into my browser router.mynetwork.com i would get the admin page of my router. All devices have be setup by dhcp to use pfsense as the dns server. cant seem to get it going not sure what im doing wrong

Trying to figure out what im doing wrong i noticed that all my nat rules have just stopped working and port forwarding to my server is just not working.  ports being forwarded 80,53,21,…... . All of them not working since i installed bind on pfsense

So what i would like is all my client on the network to use pfsense for dns queries and that my server only uses itself which is the way it was setup. Is it possible.

Thanks

You can just use the DNS Resolver to do that without mucking about with the BIND package.

Hi

I tried DNS Resolver but i cant seem to start it, it says it started however is never does. In system logs i get this

Jan 16 16:44:39 php-fpm[11404]: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '[1452915879] unbound[83683:0] error: can't bind socket: Address already in use for 127.0.0.1 [1452915879] unbound[83683:0] error: cannot open control interface 127.0.0.1 953 [1452915879] unbound[83683:0] fatal error: could not open ports'

Ive have change the port to listen on to 55 i do have a web server with dns which has port forwarding tcp and ucp 53.

Is BIND running and listening on TCP/UDP 53?

Hi

I guess reboot then and try resolver again. Damn packages are such a mess.
