To test some pfsense function I installed 2.0.3 in virtualbox. In VB, em0 is
configured bridged and used as WAN, em1 is host-only. Traffic through
both interfaces and the VB-host is working fine.
On the VB host (pfsense LAN):
vboxnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0A:00:27:00:00:00
inet addr:10.1.1.1 Bcast:10.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
In pfsense, WAN is configured as dhcp and picks up a suitable IP
address. The webconfig is accessible through the host's vboxnet0.
In pfsense, dnsmasq doesn't work - nothing is resolved.
/etc/resolv.conf contains 127.0.0.1, and the 2 servers I configured.
Traffic is OK - telnet 203.97.30.185 80 works as expected.
dig @localhost google.com doesn't resolve anything.
I conclude that dnsmasq is not functional inside virtualbox, making
pfsense config testing impossible.
Is it possible to beat dnsmasq into shape to work inside VB?
find / | grep dnsm doesn't find any config files.
The only VB postings on the forum is from 2009 and deals with issues VB
has with itself.
Thanks,
Volker
