Thanks Igor. The problem with that setup is that some host names are defined by pfsense, some via dhcp and split dns, some for DMZ hosts. I need the XP machines to have those resolved as well, and that resolution should work for both qualified and unqualified host names. That means pfsense has to be the LAN's name server.
