Re: [FW-1] NG AI and DNS drops



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?

Thanks!

How is your DNS setup?  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?
