Hi, we've got 1.9 running with DNS proxy on our server, and the proxy's "External Nameserver" points to the primary DNS server for our domain which is in the DMZ.
For the most part, it works from outside, but sometimes, subdomains can't be resolved, such as mail.mydomain.com
If I use nslookup and set the server to the firewall address, nslookup finds the subdomains fine, but other DNS servers (using bind 8.x) seem to be having trouble.
Does the firewall's DNS proxy accept both UDP and TCP connections from outside? If not, could that be the problem?
If I try the TCP Connect tool on another ASL box to port 53 of this one, I get:
Tue Jul 10 13:50:09 /etc/localtime 2001
24.0.194.x: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
(UNKNOWN) [24.0.194.x] 53 (domain) open
net timeout
sent 3, rcvd 0
But I don't know enough about the DNS protocol to know if this Net Timeout is OK or not.
Thank you,
Barry
