im assuming the webserver is behind the firewall and he wants to allow people on the internet to be able to see it.

What does this mean, FQDN in firewall rules? Do I really have to declare the FQDN in pfSense, instead of just forward port 80 to the webserver? All domains were set to our own NS servers (NS1 in W2k3 Active Directory, NS2 in Freebsd), is it safe and wise to use the pfSense gateway as the NS server to replace the current NS1 server? As you noticed, my ultimate goal is to replace the current windows boxes to BSD boxes. Any ideas and info would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance. Raleigh
