pfSense

Hello,

My pfSense DHCP server is configured to give out the following "Domain search list"
(names changed):

lan.city1.mycompany.net;mycompany.net;city2.mycompany.net

I'm running the pfSense DNS forwarder which responds to all DNS queries on the LAN.

If I ping a host on the "company.net" domain (a machine not on the local LAN),
using for example "ping server1" I get a strange response sometimes
(does not happen 100% of the time):

PING server1.lan.city1.mycompany.net (198.105.254.68): 56 data bytes

I get this also when doing the ping on the pfsense box itself.

This IP (198.105.254.68) is not configured anywhere on the
pfSense firewall so I have no idea where it comes from, and
why pfSense gives this as a DNS response. The proper response
would be record not found so that my LAN machines would
work their way through the DNS suffix list until they find
the correct match.
