We have a Cisco PIX 515 Firewall. Port 53 is open on TCP
and UDP. the router is a Cisco also. It is supplied by our
ISP...Bellsouth. Thanks for the response. I guess I need
to work on my search technique because I couldn't locate
any articles on it. I will look at the articles you
suggest. This DNS server was an upgrade so this may be the
solution I am looking for. Thanks for your response. I
will let you know if this solves the problem.
