Re: [FW1] DNS requests making it through the firewall !



There will be too many speculations to your question because there is some
missing information:
     1.  What is your cleanup rule like?
     2.  What are your policy properties?
     3.  What are you logging?
     4.  Have you created a rule to monitor DNS queries?
 
If the policy properties, for example, list DNS UDP queries as First, then they
won't be logged and yes, it will answer queries for internal machines.  That's
why you either 1) put a primary DNS server in the external DMZ and create a
secondary DNS server on the private side forwarding queries to the external
DNS for name resolution; or 2) you completely block DNS queries to the
inside.

I have noticed that when I'm at home, not connected to our network at work,
I have the ability to use our internal DNS server to resolve address' on my
home machine.  I have no access set up to our DNS servers from the outside,
and when I watch the logs, I see nothing come in to the internal DNS server
when I use it from home .....But it resolves the address' of even internal
non routable machines from home.

Any ideas why ?

Thanks.
