Hello,
I'm using a redundant pfsense CARP cluster for providing
firewall/DHCP/DNS to several servers and clients.
To have more control over local DNS records, I have setup a powerdns
daemon on a linux server behind the pfsense cluster and entered a domain
override for a test domain in the DNS forwarder configuration page on
both pfsense boxes.
This works flawlessly, the pfsense forwards requests for the local
domains to my linux box, while still using my ISP DNS servers for
internet DNS lookups.
However, I can't seem to add a domain override for my internal ip ranges
reverse dns lookups (PTR records)
My local network is a 10.150.0.0/16 divided in lots of /24 chunks using
vlans.
If I put 150.10.in-addr.arpa in the pfsense DNS domain override, it
seems to have no effect.
My powerdns server on my linux box is never receiving any queries from
the pfsense boxes.
(Tested using tcpdump, and also direct PTR queries to my powerdns work
as they should)
I know I could just hand out the ip of the powerdns server to the
clients through dhcp, but that would cripple my redundant setup.
As long as the powerdns only handles internal requests, internet
connectivity won't be affected if the single powerdns server goes down
for some reason.
And setting up a secundary local DNS server and keeping it in sync with
the primary, just for this purpose, just seems a bit overkill.
What is the correct way to override the DNS server setup for local
reverse dns lookups ?
Thanks!
Hans
