    Thought this might be better suited to the nets/comms section

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054951722

    as it looks to be more of a nat/dns issue

    1 question is... are dns requests sent out on port 53 in a nat situation always?

    how can i set up dns requests over nat correctly in monowall?

    monowall has dnsmasq installed by default and it is active as i can se it loading up @ boot

    i have attached a doc file of a small diagram and summary of the issue

    it is very strange, no dns queries are being returned (they are going out fine though), i know the dns servers are working fine as i am using them with a crappy linksys router

    dns should be a forwarding cache on that monowall machine maybe ???

    also tell monowall the machines behind it are windows not linux if so be the case

    there is no option for that, basically the monowall box has the dns addresses and dns forwarding is switched on, so it is supposed to handle all dns queries and pss them to the dns server and then pass the response back
