DNS Forwarder not working
pboe:
Hi Franco,
i've done a clean installation of 15.1.11.1.
Configured wan network settings, which is the default gateway, everything works fine.
Then started to configure the multi wan setup by adding a 2nd wan, adding in the routing tab a new group with both interfaces as tier 1 for load balancing.
Still everything works, even the 2nd Wan is not physically connected.
Once i edit the standard firewall rule to use the load balancing gateway group, the dns isn't working any more for the connected clients.
Best regards,
Paul

Are you sure the resolver is not running? Just had a forwarding issue myself after removing a manual dnsmasq entry for a secondary hostname. Service would not start after I saved and all my host overrides failed. Turns out unbound was running though disabled in gui with an apply button to save changes every time I went to Services > DNS Resolver.
I killed unbound and manually started dnsmasq and the service started. Though the resolver is disabled I am still prompted to save changes in gui under Services > DNS Resolver for whatever reason.

Ok, after reboot had to start dnsmasq manually again. DNS Resolver not running and not asking to apply changes in gui / disabled. DNS Forwarder is enabled in gui too but just doesn't start.
EDIT: dnsmasq seems to get SIGTERM when restarting ANY service. Just adding/removing static DHCP lease killed it.
This is when starting service from Status > Services:
--- Code: ---Jun 27 17:13:35 dnsmasq[19366]: FAILED to start up
Jun 27 17:13:35 dnsmasq[19366]: junk found in command line
--- End code ---
Static DHCP mappings also not being written to /etc/hosts.

Hi,
switching from the resolver to the forwarder in the gui, stops unbound and starts dnsmasq. so from that side evrything is fine.
Things stop working, when i change the firewall rule to use the multi wan gateway group instead of the default gateway.
