I'm trying to migrate a DD-WRT setup to OPNsense 25.7 and there's one final hitch -- DNS lookups. Under the DD-WRT setup, a client on the internal network would get the correct result when looking up each of these:
The host-internal hosts are assigned IPs through DHCP. Some of them are handed static addresses. The host-external hosts are VMs at hosting services. When I try to get OPNsense to handle this, some work and some don't. Exactly which does and doesn't changes depending on what parameters I tweak or services I use. Frustrated with this, I tried using ChatGPT and had the same problem. Note: in "System: Settings: General", the domain is set to "mydomain.com". Some of the rabbit holes I went down with ChatGPT suggested that KeaDHCP would do what I want, but that functionality is not exposed in the OPNsense user interface. Meanwhile I keep getting suggestions of how to trick OPNsense into doing what I want, but these keep going in circles. How do I get this working?
- host-internal.mydomain.com
- host-internal
- host-external.mydomain.com
- host-external
