Help with DNS?

JCMoritz — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 20:38:54 GMT

Hello Live Community.

I am in a bind. I have all of our clients on networks using DHCP from our Palo Alto and pointing to Googles servers for DNS. Very quick and slick. unfortunately I need all computers, tablets, phones, etc... to see a server inside our Palo Alto. Is there any way to do this without compromising the DNS settings, or speed? I really do not want a DNS server in house? Like a local static IP address or FQDN? The devices all go outside the device and can't resolve the internal address.

Thanks in advance for input.

@JCMoritz,

The DNS Proxy capability is created for this exact scenario, so I'd get that configured. Just know though that you are creating a DNS server by using this option, it'll just be the firewall itself.

Thanks BPry! Makes sense to me. Will give it a try.

Hello @JCMoritz ,

Here is a short video I created a while ago and why I think you should use a secure DNS server instead.
