Bug #2870

External DNS server always takes precedence over internal servers
0%
Description
I have a set-up where pfSense runs between a DSL router (WAN interface) and an internal domain with multiple DNS servers (LAN interface). In the DNS configuration I added the internal DNS servers with their IP address and checked the box for "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN". With this configuration pfSense is not able to resolve the internal DNS names anymore. Only when I disable the check-box and manually add the DSL router's IP address to the end of the list of DNS servers name resolution works as expected. The internal domain name ends on .lokal so I don't expect any issues from the external DNS server feeling responsible for this domain.

description isn't true, and it's not a bug, rather need to fix your config. Please post to the forum or mailing list for help.

My solution to the problem was to create a DNS domain override for the internal domain. It also wasn't necessary to specify the internal DNS server anymore in the list of DNS servers. Additionally, I created a second domain override for a second server to provide fault tolerance.
