The Firewalla is working great so far, but I am having issues with local device lookup.  for example, I have a QNAP NAS that I have named "QNAP".  I expect that I should be able to ping that device by the name qnap.lan or do an nslookup (from windows host) for qnap.lan.  Both of these commands fail.

Am I wrong to expect this to work?  what steps can I take to troubleshoot?

Here is the error

nslookup qnap.lan
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.239.1

*** UnKnown can't find qnap.lan: Non-existent domain

ping qnap.lan
Ping request could not find host qnap.lan. Please check the name and try again.

  Tap on devices, tap on your QNAP device, and look at the Local Doman, is it qnap.lan? or something else?
