DHCP Server on Intrface only deploys 1 DNS IP to clients

Hi

 

Is it a bug or did we something wrong? On a FW60D with 5.6.3 we have the DHCP server configured on the Internal Interface with 3 DNS servers, but on the clients we just always get 1 DNS IP.

 

config system dhcp server
    edit 1
        set lease-time 43200
        set forticlient-on-net-status disable
        set ntp-service default
        set default-gateway 192.168.5.1
        set netmask 255.255.255.0
        set interface "internal"
        config ip-range
            edit 1
                set start-ip 192.168.5.100
                set end-ip 192.168.5.250
            next
        end
        set timezone-option default
        set dns-server1 192.168.5.1
        set dns-server2 172.17.36.60
        set dns-server3 8.8.8.8
    next

 

But on all Win Clients we get only the primary DNS, dns-server1 with the value "192.168.5.1".

Does anyone know why dns-server2 and dns-server3 values never reach the clients?

 

Thanks

Does the CLI not hiccup when you enter the "set dns-serverx" commands? I though that you entered them all on the same line separated by spaces. It's been a while and I may be wrong here. Also I have yet to see a 5.6.x CLI. Things may have changed since I have done this.

We did it in the GUI and separated the IP's by comma as mentioned in the manual. Afterwards I was checking in the CLI if they are all written properly down and it seems to because they are all listed correctly in CLI.

set dns-server1 192.168.5.1

set dns-server2 172.17.36.60
set dns-server3 8.8.8.8

I feel honored, usually it's the opposite and you are the teacher 

 

Could anyone confirm they have a running config with more than 1 DNS and it's working? Maybe with 5.6.4?
