Internal DNS issues

Fist time Poster, so please go easy on me :)

So here is my issue, I have setup my new XG and loving it so far but I am having issues with Internal DNS.

I.E. if i ping server.(internaldomain).net it resolves to an outside IP (198.105.244.69) but not limited to  this one system.

however if I just ping "server" then I get the correct local IPV6 or IPV4 address.

Here is the general config of my network.

Lan: 172.16.0.0/23 with localdomain info

Wan Static from ISP

DNS IPV4 : ISP DNS SERVER #1

                     ISP DNS SERVER #2

GOOGLE (8.8.8.8)

Now what I have tried and have failed.

I have made changes to the DHCP options and made the XG the lan DNS > didnt change anything

added wildcard domain in the DNS routing ( *.localdoamin.net) no change :(

added FQDN for specific systems "server.localdoamin.net" in DNS host entry ---- That would be a negative ghostwriter

I have also tried  adding a IP Host (Objects> Hosts and Services> IP Host) no luck.

I have looked and the XG admin guide and there isnt any mention about this config type so I suspected it one of those magical configs where i just works.

I would rather not have to spin up another box to be a DNS server when this is quite capable of doing so.

any input / advice on how to fix this would be great.. Thanks

  • Thanks for getting back to me.
    So I attempted to do what you said a I learned more. However that was not a fix, adding DNS route request looks like if I were going to run a DNS server on the Local LAN (Trying to avoid) then I would use that internal server as a t "target" but you can not bind a domain name to a interface in this menu.. Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks
