    Doesn' t work tho, unless you only use external DNS servers. So if you run your own DNS servers internally, which most of us do, the answer is no. Not even with v3.0.

    >> Doesn' t work tho, unless you only use external DNS servers. Any technical explanation for this, because I can' t think of any logical reason that would be the case?

    You should concider to run DNS server on DMZ. Have not tryed myself in lab, but it should work. Need to open v300 release notes for that, there is writen in which circumstances FQDN will run. Arvydas

    Surely you can just set the fortinets DNS servers to your internal ones ? i cannot believe that it would not use the ones set on the unit ? that doesnt make sense, then again, i wont put anything past them..
