Re: [FW-1] DNS Stop Running caused by FW Checkpoint NG



I would demand the vendor provide documentation from checkpoint that this
configuration is preferred and recommended.  I can think of many more
reasons to have DNS on a separate box than I can having them together.  The
best being that your firewall would be less susceptible to DOS and hack
attempts/events.  That being said, if you must run them on the same box make
sure you check the properties box signifying traffic originating from
firewall.  Plus the rules:

Any     FW      DNS     ACCEPT
FW      any     DNS     ACCEPT

Plus think of a rule to allow the returns on high ports for the response
back to the DNS server.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Subject:        [FW-1] DNS Stop Running caused by FW Checkpoint NG

Hello there,

My contractor has made many attempts but failed so far to install the
following environment for my company:-

Attempt No #1
OS: Windows 2000 Server (Standalone) with DNS Server installed
FW: Firewall Checkpoint Next Generation

Attempt No #2
OS: NT Server with SP5 (Standalone)
FW: Firewall Checkpoint 4 with SP8

They have tried both methods but DNS Server seems to be stopped by Firewall
Checkpoint application. Does anyone have this problem before and if so can
you recall how it has been fixed. I have never recommended to have both DNS
& Firewall Checkpoint running on the same box but apparently they says this
is Firewall's recommendation. Anyway, I will look at this as my phase 2
project.

The objective of my Phase 1 action is to upgrade both hardware & Firewall
Checkpoint application environment.

The current environment of my firewall is as follow which is not installed
by the same contractor unfortunately:-
OS: NT Server with SP5 (Standalone)
FW: Firewall Checkpoint 4 with SP3

Any clues from you guys would be appreciated.

Thank You.
