Hi,

Somehow are pfsense box DNS Resolver (not forwarder, the resolver) is getting poisoned for some local hostnames sometimes.

I have found three different hosts resolving to

208.91.197.132

on three different occasions. When I query the individual DNS servers only the pfsense box itself returns this incorrect result. The other nameserver return the correct result.

I tried enabling Experimental Bit 0x20 Support - made no difference.

I tried disabling the automatic ACLs for DNS and created my own allowing only local traffic (I didn't know if that fact that we have dual WANs was confusing the built-in ACLs). This did not fix the issue.

Just now I completely disabled IPv6 in case that was some sort of back way in to the DNS server. I also set the Unwanted Reply Threshold to 10 million from Disabled. I need to see if these fix the issue.

Otherwise I suppose I will set pfsense to simply act as a forwarder.

Any thoughts on the best method to approach this? I blocked access to the offending network as well.

Thanks,
