Jose,
If your dns servers are using EDNS0 (bind 9.2, w2k3dns) then yes, this
is a known issue that has been discussed here before.

Subject: [FW-1] Possible DNS protocol BUG in FW-1 NG FP3


Hi all !

Recently we have installed a FW-1 NG FP3 under Linux to protect our DMZ.
Since the installation we have experience some problems resolving our
domain from external nameservers.
It seemed that our DNS servers worked fine when you access directly from
outside (I mean, using our-dns-server.our-domain.com) but has some
problemas when resolving our domain name form another DNS server. There
was
many delays. You had to try serveral times to resolv one of our
subdomains
(with timeouts) until have a rigth answer.

After many days of tests we isolated the problem in our firewall. The
problem was solved as soon as we changed from DNS to none the protocol
of
the domain_udp object.

It seems that FW-1 has a bug in filtering at application level DNS UDPs
querys.

Is this a known issue? Or maybe an unknown bug?

Thanks
