DNS

Fri Aug 27 12:48:50 UTC 2004

I have a friend whom has a problem with we believe DNS.  In this case the
ISP is NTL.  He has a stateful firewall and is running NAT you can see from
the tcp dump below that he sends the query to one DNS server but another
responds thus breaking the firewall state and therefore it never resolves.
Should the provider have the forwarding option on there servers or does he
need to punch another hole in his firewall.

cheers
