I haven't relly been following this thread Steve so I apologise in
advance if this has already been covered. I think the ipchains rule I
have set up for DNS is
ipchains -A output -i $OUTSIDE_INTERFACE -p udp \
-s $IP_ADD $UNPRIVPORTS \
-d $NAMESERVER_1 53 -j ACCEPT
Of course you will have to change the variable here to what works on
your system.
$OUTSIDE_INTERFACE should be the nic card you have speaking to the work
$IP_ADD Is your external ipaddress. and $NAMESERVER_1 is your first DNS
server.
