Hi,

The ip address as DNS nameservers are obtained via DHCP from my ISP, these
name servers are the same I've specified staticaly for each of my internal
boxes. I use the same rules for iptables to set the firewall, but
'nslookup' still sending the same problem, with firewall rules up or not.

Thanx in advance.

Marinho.-

Put your firewall settings back to what it was when the whole setup worked.
Do you have Dynamic IP or static IP for your ADSL connection ? And how 
is your name server address obtained ? via DHCP or static name server ?

Most likely the problem is that the name server used in Squid and/or 
dansguardian is no longer accessible. Check the nameserver settings.
