Forward DNS requests

L6 Presenter

Hi,

We are looking for a way to forward All dns requests to internal DNS ip.

Either client changes its ip address to public dns addresses it should be forwarded to internal.

Can we do that ?

We don't want to write a deny rule for public Dns requests.

We don't want to enforce client's dns.

Hi, except from DNS-proxy another way to accomplish this is using U-turn NAT configuration

Source Zone: Trust-Zone

Dest Zone: Untrust-Zone

service: dns (53tcp +53udp)

Source : Your internal network

Dest: External Dns server IP (ie 8.8.8.8 google)

Source translate: dynamic-ip-port (PAT) of your internal firewall interface

Dest translate: Your internal DNS server IP

Also you need a permit security policy from Trust-Zone to Trust-Zone

The drawback that you need a NAT entry for every external dns server, but if you verify which ones is mostly used I think that 10 rules could match 90% of your dns external requests.

That solution is talked before.There are many Dns public and 1 rule for every ip is not good.

Thanks.
