root@ZeroPi-DNS:~# nslookup pi.hole
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Why Can't find pi.hole: No answer?!

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

and i used pihole -r
The problem has not gone away

Run this command and post the output.

nslookup pi.hole 192.168.255.250

Then look in the dnsmasq log at /var/log/pihole.log and find the query, forward (if any) and reply for this request and post them as well.

root@ZeroPi-DNS:~# nslookup pi.hole
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Name:   pi.hole
Address: 192.168.255.250

I can't understand, at the moment everything works. I can say that on the screenshot 2 items ignored the save button and were always turned on. I reinstalled pihole and restarted the system, the problem remained, but now it is gone. IT IS MAGIC

or I'm guessing that there is a problem with the transition of DNS Forwarder to DNS Resolver.
i'm not sure about that, but:


before
after
or the system did not cope with the requests and received a bug?
GATEWAY = pfSense as DHCP server (DNS: 192.168.255.250 - pi.hole), there were 245514 requests, afte 4002 requests
