Internal DNS issues

Question

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

Ok So I have found either a Fix or work-around.. Just posting for others if they encounter this issue. What I did was go into your DCHP scope options and in there, there is a section for "use device DNS" uncheck that box and point DNS to the IP of your XG in my case it was 172.16.0.1 Then you have to do the tedious process of manually adding all of the entries by hand, Go to System> Network> DNS &ldquo;DNS host entry &ldquo;and add the hosts you want/need. And do make sure to check the box for reverse lookup. 
 
 take about a five min break come back and test your pings.. TADA
