there is no reason that setup cannot use MS DNS. DHCP on pfsense box can
assign what it needs to assign, and any DNS entries will be handled with
DDNS that windows has.

If this is a domain environment this will likely slow down domain

the forwarder tab there you can specify your ISP's dns or even better
yet use OPENDNS 208.67.222.222. Then have DHCP assign the MS DNS as the
only DNS server.
Thanks Igor. The problem with that setup is that some host names are
defined
by pfsense, some via dhcp and split dns, some for DMZ hosts. I need the XP
machines to have those resolved as well, and that resolution should work
for
both qualified and unqualified host names. That means pfsense has to be
the
LAN's name server.
