XG firewall v18 - DNS help

Hi Steve,

you will need to add an entry in the DNS host entry under Networks. Do not tick Publish on WAN.

You might also like to add a FQDN entry for the server for completeness.

This is what I have..

Outside DNS servers..

DNS entries...

Under administration, I have DNS checked for WAN.  When I try to do a test lookup of "EPSON" it comes back and says "Lookup failed"

Right now, each VLAN uses its own interface for DNS, but I am wondering if I should use a single IP and add that IP to the DNS server list?

I think what I am missing is simple.

Hi Steve,

try ticking the reverse DNS lookup for your entry. The limitation of the XG will only allow you to have one IP address assigned to any device. You will need a different name for each IP address you wish to assign. We are all hoping that very shortly Sophos will link the DNS and DHCP server and create seperate ranges for each interface to allow the same MAC or FQDN for each network.

I checked reverse lookup.. no change.. not resolving the name.  When it resolves, the DNS server list reflects only external servers.. should it resolve internal address without listing sophos as a dns server?

Hi Steve,

you will need the XG DNS somewhere in your search path.
