OK, thanks I was not sure what is the proper behavior regarding iptables and DNS.

If answer is not translated then how do I get DNS to work with two way NAT?
My internal network does not understand any of the ip addresses that belong to outside. So if the request for a page that is sent from internal network comes back from outside with an answer (ip address) that is not getting translated then I can't resolve the page since my internal network doesn't understand it and can't route to it. Is there a way around this problem? How do I get DNS to work in the type of environment I described?


You could always just push /etc/hosts files out with the inside addresses there, if you have troubles with DNS setup. Slow, crude, yet effective. The poorman's way...

Thanks,
