Thank you!
Nothing else surfaced publicly because it was a poorly considered idea. “Let’s turn pfSense into an appliance platform.” Only, there was: - no ability to strip the PHP down to the essential bits required for the purpose at-hand. - no manageability (devops, anyone?) - not even original with the pfSense coreteam, from what I can discover. We have plans in this area, but they’re not ‘pfDNS’.
