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.
