Split DNS

I read somewhere in order to use Web Filter, I need to use FortiGuard DNS

Let say I have internal dns which host all internal server hostname

I want Fortigate which use default fortiguard dns able to solve internal server name

I came with idea to do split dns

OPTION1

-set Fortigate DNS to Internal DNS

set Internal DNS forwarder to FortiGuard DNS

 

OPTION2

-set Fortigate DNS to default FortiGuard DNS

then set

config system dns-database edit "company1.com" set domain "company1.com" set authoritative disable set forwarder "10.243.13.1" next end   QUESTIONS 1. Can I do OPTION2 and achieve same result as OPTION1   tq

To use Webfilter you don't need to use Fortinet DNSes. To use DNS Filter you do need to use their DNS servers.

After seeing Network/DNS/DNS Filter Servers=208.91.112.220

or

# sh full-configuration | grep -f sdns-server-ip

I can see that DNS Filter using FortiGuard

So OPTION1 should be Network/DNS=INTERNAL AD DNS IP INTERNAL AD DNS Forwarder=ISP DNS

 

but question remain, whether can I use OPTION2 and get same result as OPTION1

 

UPDATE1: 1. I think this is the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ze3jMAdRTo&feature=emb_logo I need to setup dns server in Fortigate interface facing LAN/DMZ
