I noticed this odd issue with the DNS forwarder in pfsense. I have a few locked down vlans that I don't want to give direct access to my internal DNS server but still want them to resolve from it so I use the forwarder and just point the machines to the gateway. This works 99% of the time. Every now and then, completely randomly, 1 host will fail to resolve only on 1 machine. Restarting the service on pfsense fixes this.
What would cause this to happen? Very worse case scenario I might just allow the internal DNS server through the firewall and skip using the forwarder.
