<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>70</i></li></ul><p>There are multiple items here that aren't directly related:</p>
<p>1. The DNS test page reports times for configured servers which doesn't care about resolver or forwarding mode. I'll add some notes about that to <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/diagnostics/dns.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/diagnostics/dns.html</a> but haven't done so yet.<br />2. There is no document explaining the process of DNS resolution in general -- This is now covered by the new document at <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolution-process.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolution-process.html</a> -- but it is not specific to the DNS resolver so it wasn't in the DNS resolver documentation before, and still isn't now. It's in the DNS documentation.<br />3. Issues with resolver mode and multi-wan -- This is already noted in a few places around the documentation, such as under Multi-WAN at <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/interfaces-and-dns.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/interfaces-and-dns.html</a> and is mentioned in the DNS resolver configuration as well. I've updated this a little and it's now under <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolver-modes.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/dns/resolver-modes.html</a> but it was previously on the main page of the DNS Resolver documentation.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Feedback</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>70</i> to <i>100</i></li></ul><p>Additional updates:</p>
<p>1. Added a new section to the DNS Lookup page which describes how it selects servers to test.<br /> <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/diagnostics/dns.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/diagnostics/dns.html</a></p>
<p>3. Cleaned up and expanded the Multi-WAN DNS information on <br /> <a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/interfaces-and-dns.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/multiwan/interfaces-and-dns.html</a></p>
<p>Also as a dependency to the above, I updated the documentation for <b>System > General</b> as it also influenced the content of the other updates.<br /><a class="external" href="https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/general.html">https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/general.html</a></p>
