Question Sophos UTM as Internal DNS Server with Domain.local

Sally

Hello,

I have some questions to the DNS Best Practice Configuration https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/120283 as I use the UTM with domain.local

 

Hostname: mysophos

 

Network Definitions:

Name: mysophos

Type: Host

IP: 192.168.0.1

DNS Settings: mysophos.domain.local

Reverse DNS: marked

 

All other Devices like Laptop, Printer, Access Point in DMZ, etc. are created as Host Definitions.

 

Network Services DNS

Allowed Networks:

Internal Network

DMZ Network

 

DNS Forwarders:

DNS Group – Availability Group with Cloudflare DNS 1 and Cloudflare DNS 2

User Forwarders by ISP – not checked

 

Request Routing:

domain.local to mysophos

 

My questions, with the setting request Routing domain.local to mysophos and created host definitions would this be enough for the internal dns resolution or do I have to add the 168.192.in-addr.arpa record for all networks as well, or just when I would like to have the names instead of ip address in the reports? Would this be the fastest way for Internal DNS Resolution with the UTM?

 

How can I check that the created DNS Forwarders to Cloudflare are working correct?

 

Thx

    For others that pass by this thread, I recommend the DNS best practice post from which the KB article linked to above was copied.  The post is updated regularly, but the KB is rarely updated.

    Hello,

     

    still have the issues with the forwarders, when using Policy Route Internal Network - Any - Internet Ipv4 - External (WAN), the forwarders from the ISP are taken, instead the Cloudflare Forwarders in the DNS Forwarder Availability Group..

     

    Any suggestion? 

     

    Thx

    Sally

    Please show a picture of the DNS Forwarders box with the Host for Cloudflare DNS open in Edit.  Also, a picture of the Edit of the Policy Route.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hello Bob,

     

    please see here the Information. Regarding Policy Route I meant Multipath Rule

     

     

    Best regards

    Sally

    Now, how about pictures of the 'DNS Forwarders' tab, the 'Request Routing' tab and the enabled rules on the 'Multipath Rules' tab.

    Cheers - Bob

    Confirm that the DMZ and Internal networks are in 'Allowed Networks' on the 'DNS' 'Global' tab.

    I assume that you did that, so the only remaining issue is DHCP - please show pictures of the Edits of the DHCP servers for your networks.

    Cheers - Bob
    PS, I assume you have only one WAN connection since you only showed us one Multipath rule - is that right?

    Yes, i confirm under DNS - Global - Allowed Networks are Internal and DMZ Networks. DNSSEC Validation is marked.

     

    Please see here the DHCP Settings:
