DNS in a FG-30D?

Pals,

could someone please confirm that a FG-30D running v5.2.3 will forward DNS requests to the provider on the WAN link? I know a 'real' local DNS is deliberately left out but I couldn't find any settings for specifying a DNS relay. My hope is that there is an implicit forward for DNS requests targeted at the FGT.

Anybody using the 30D?

Hi ede_pfau,

I've installed yesterday 4 FWF30D and 1 today and I am having a funny issue.

Sometimes it forwards the dns requests and some times it doesn't. I am using them at remote clients and I had to use public dns on the host machines on those sites. I would like to use the firewall as my dns server but I am having issues with this feature.

I haven't really helped but that is my experience with this appliances. Would love to get a resolution for this issue.

It should be:

config system dns-server edit <intf_name> set mode {forward-only | non‑recursive | recursive} end

But according to the 30D PDF (pointed out in this thread), it was removed on the smaller units.

Thanks Dave, I should've searched the forums more...but my hope was that they "implicitely" forward DNS requests. That would require a DNS proxy and exactly this was cut out for the smallest units.

Ain't no Fortigate if it's below a 60D.
