DNS servers on the LAN are NATTed for HIDE behind the firewall's IP. DNS replies are sent to the firewall because the external servers see the firewall's IP address in the DNS request. Since this is UDP, there is one packet from the internal DNS server -> FW1 -> external DNS server, then there is a packet from external DNS server -> FW1 -> internal DNS. I am guessing the drops are due to UDP timeouts- but I am not sure how to tell. I am not sure how to "dump the traffic." I can use Ethereal, but what would I be looking for? The UDP reply packet is probably fine. Does the Firewall send out another packet that I can capture when it DROPS a UDP packet? I didn't think it did.? Or is there a better way to diagnose this?

Internal servers that forward to an external DNS? If so, why would DNS requests be sent to the firewall? Have you dumped on the traffic to confirm where the dropped queries are going? -Aaron http://www.primeinc.com ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
