I have 2 Windows Servers with Active Directory. They are also required to be a DNS server for AD to work, and one is a DHCP server. This means I can access ‘server1’ (192.168.1.5) by its computer name instead of IP etc. Each client on the LAN then needs to have its DNS server IP = 192.168.1.5 for local DNS to work.
Also I have a pfsense firewall (192.168.1.1) running pfblockerng for web filtering (using dnsbl), however for web filtering to work it requires clients to have their DNS ‘only’ point to pfsense (192.168.1.1)
How should I setup DNS so that Active Directory and local name resolution works on my LAN… AND also that webfiltering thru the pfsence clients works.
Heres a diagram of how I think it should be setup based on some best practices for AD DNS, but not sure about how to incorporate the pfsense for DNS.
Please share your setup
