The DNS service running on the pfSense router is refusing connections.  It is 
also unable to resolve DNS names locally.  This was tested by sshing to the 
router and typing "ping google.com".  It never resolved the name to an 
address for ping to try to ping.  There are DNS servers listed in the General 
page.  The DNS servers are for the OPT1 and OPT2 internet connections.  The 
default traffic rule has all traffic going out over OPT2 so that should not 
be  a problem.  I added the same DNS servers to the /etc/resolv.conf on 
several linux machines as a get by until this could be fixed.  I know the DNS 
servers are reachable using the current routing because of this.  I do not 
have an /etc/resolv.conf to look at or a nslookup command to test with on the 
pfsense router.  Below is the output of the nslookup command from a linux 
server.  The options "Enable DNS forwarder", "Register DHCP leases in DNS 
forwarder", and "Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder" are all 
turned on.  The "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" 
option is turned off since all internet connections have static IP addresses.  
This was originally on and this DNS still failed.
