PIX 501 relay client DNS requests out to an internet DNS server?

Nov 17, 2006 1 Replies

router = 10.0.0.254 pix outside = 10.0.0.1 pix inside = 192.168.0.254 client = 192.168.0.1 client dns = 192.168.0.254



pix config:



ip address outside 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 ip address inside 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0 route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.254 dhcpd address 192.168.0.50-192.168.0.90 inside dhcpd enable inside dhcpd dns 192.168.0.254


How can a PIX 501 relay client DNS requests out to an internet DNS server? I want to specify the PIX outside address, rather than receive it via dhcp.



Thanks Nick



There are many ways to do this and it all depends on how much access you want between the Inside interface of the firewall to the outside

Based on what you provided above you could write in the following:

access-list DNS permit udp 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 any eq 53 global (outside) 1 10.0.0.50-10.0.0.90 netmask 255.255.255.0 nat (inside) 1 access-list DNS
