Dig command on pfSense Software Version 2.2 and later¶
The dig command was part of the BIND utilities included in FreeBSD base on 9.x and below. pfSense®s software had included dig in the past as a part of the FreeBSD base but it is not included currently. On FreeBSD 10.x, BIND was removed from base and replaced by Unbound. pfSense software version 2.2 followed suit and began using Unbound as well.
For situations where dig was used in the past, the drill command should be used instead on FreeBSD 10.x.
The drill command has very similar output to dig, but has different syntax.
Run drill -h for more information.
