Firebox as internal DNS server
Hello... Not sure how likely this is, but I thought I'd ask.
The previous IT tech transitioned our systems over to Microsoft Azure. We no longer have any servers on site. With this configuration, we have no DNS services on our internal network. It's not a big deal for the most part, but it would be great to be able to do a 'ping -a' on an internal device and have it return a host name. I'd like to avoid adding server infrastructure back in, mainly because we're a pretty small business and I would like to avoid additional expense. With that said, is it possible to set a WatchGuard firewall up to provide internal DNS services, or would I need to have a separate server for that?
DNS is working great for anything outside our network. I just don't have any DNS internally.
Thanks!

Fireware is only a DNS Forwarder, not a DNS server.
