Make sure the DNS server they are trying to contact are indeed there. You may want to try restarting named and making sure it works rather than removing it on your gateway if you think the machines behind it may be referencing it as a nameserver. To check if DNS is properly configured, try to ping something using a hostname. Hope this helps -- Dima Dorfman <dima@unixfreak.org> Finger dima@unixfreak.org for my public PGP key.
