Hello

	I have been trying to get a dns server running behind a NAT for a while now. 
  I cant get it to work.  I am using Mandrakes SNF which uses Linux kernel 
2.2.19, and uses ipchains for firewalling and ipvsadm to do port 
forwarding.  I can not get connections from the externel net (interent) to 
forward through to the dns server and be anwsered successfully.  I am 
trying to figure out if the problem is with bind or the firewall???  Can 
you give a breif deiscrption of what you forwarded to  make this work.  Are 
you using linux???


Thanks much

Joseph
