UTM Home DNS problems

Ok, I'm new to Sophos UTM, downloaded the Home version recently and wanted to give it a try.  I only have a few devices behind the UTM box, one being a Synology NAS.  Synology offers a service call QuickConnect that connects through http connections, supposedly not requiring any ports being opened.  Anyway, the Synology QuickConnect service does not work behind the UTM, and I believe it's a DNS issue.  I don't understand DNS very well, I usually use public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, etc) and things work.  However, as I read Sophos' DNS Best Practice post, it indicates there's an internal DNS server separate from the UTM.  Am I reading this right, am i supposed to have an internal DNS server setup on a device other than the UTM?  Anyway, I followed the Best Practice guidelines through point 3 where I entered the reverse DNS lookup entry under Request Routing, and my Synology still doesn't work.  I'm fairly certain there's a DNS error, but I can't figure it out.  Other computers behind the UTM are pointed to the UTM as the DNS and are able to resolve names.  Any ideas (the helpful kind, please)?

  • There is nothing in the UTM DHCP server that will update your DNS in the UTM. You will need a more sophisticated DHCP server which has the ability to update DNS. Or you tick the box on your windows clients that says register this device in the DNS. Or you create static entries with DNS set.
