I am running a server with cPanel behind pfSense. cPanel does not
officially support this configuration (although they are considering it)
because the server has no way to know what the 1-1 NAT mappings are for the
DNS server.
I am looking at two options to get around this:
1. Create a cPanel package/extension that will query the pfSense for the
correct IP address to use.
2. A pfSense package with a rewriting DNS server. pfSense will forward
queries to the internal nameserver and replace the IP addresses in the
response using the 1-1 NAT table (or the primary IP if there is no 1-1, but
there is port-forwarding).

Any thoughts on which of those options is better (or easier)?
Option 2 is a global solution to the old NAT-reflection/Split-DNS question,
but will place a higher load on the firewall.
I do not know what hooks are available to query the NAT info from the
pfSense.
The third option is to do both...
