I'm having some trouble with DNS queries making it through the filters...if I allow connections out to use udp port 53, that should allow clients inside the firewall to query external dns servers for information, correct? Do I need to open any other ports? (Of course, I have "related, established" open, so I assume the DNS server response will work properly). Am I missing somthing? end of line, Reed reed wiedower reed.wiedower@peyser.com peyser.com 202.638.3730x115
