NAT timeout

Hi,

I have a problem with a Cisco 1841 router running IOS Version 12.3(11)T5.

I use NAT to access the Internet through the router.

Sometimes, around 3-4 times a day, all Internet access stops because our DNS server cannot access the Internet to resolve addresses. All Internet communication from this server is stoped. If I issue a "clear ip nat translation *" command to the router it works again.

I heard that the default NAT timeout value are not optimum and that i should enter different values for tcp, udp and dns timeouts. Is it right ?

Here's my config. Thank you for your advice.
