Problem:   CheckPoint firewall blocking dns traffic.

   IT seems like bind generates queries on the same
high port (source) to port 53 (destination). Every time
I bounce bind, it start it's queries from a new high
port (source) to port 53 (destination). This high port
stays the same until the next bounce.

   When the firewall sees a delay of more than 40
seconds, it blocks all replies back to this high port.
When I bounce bind, the new high port will work since
there is no block.

    I hope this is not too confusing. Please shed some
light if you get the basic problem here.

Thanks,
AMS :-)
