I also have a firewall and using NAT to run several services out to th e Internet. My primary DNS is on the same machine as the firewall and the secondary is on the internal net. Here's the problem. I was planning on doing a load ballance using NAT to balance the DNS requests so in the event one went down (services in this case). I have both of the setup correctly and are running. I've verified this. The problem is this, I can use the interanal DNS server from the windows machine but the bsd machine will not use it. They are on the same network. I get nameserver not found when I try to do a nslookup from the bsd machine. I tried both the internal nameserver and the nameserver on the firewall by using both the external nic and internal nic and still nothing. It complains about not seeing a nameserver. Why is it that the windows machine uses it fine but the bsd machine dosn't? Any information or questions you can ask to have this come to me will be appreciated. I'm using 4.2-STABLE, and using ipfw and natd on the firewall. The windows machine is Windows 98 Second edition. I've allowd all traffic from the internal network out.
