Hi list,
For quite a long time, I have been using pfSense as a router/firewall/gateway for regulation of traffic between the LAN and WAN side.
PF was configured with some simple rules (mostly NAT-rules), and the software was set up with "DNS forwarding" (dnsmasq) with a static IP on the WAN side and definition of the ISP's name servers.
The ISP seemed to think that we were running our own name server and that it was hijacked. After turning DNS forwarding off, everything was apparently fine.
The problem is with the server. Even though the /etc/hosts file and the /etc/resolve.conf are configured correct, some services on the server behind the firewall have issues. The most annoying is that I cannot figure out how to configure postgresql correctly. It takes a very long time to start it, and even if
Any help will be appreciated!
Regards,
Jon

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postresql status
claims that it is running, I cannot connect through clients. Updating the ports tree with portsnap fetch
takes much longer time than usual. Of course I can provide a lot of information output from tcpdump
etc. But I need to know what to look for.Any help will be appreciated!
