I don't quite understand your question. See below for the network topology: ISP (host WinGate DNS, only proxy and socks connections allowed out) | | Wireless connection to my gateway | Server (My gateway, running bind9 for internet domain and DNS caching, FreeBSD 7.1p2) > PCI D-Link GPlus wireless card for link to ISP > PCI rl0 link to switch | | Switch | My desktop (Client, FreeBSD 7.1p2, acts as bridge for laptop) > PCI dc0 link to switch > Built-in nfe0 link to laptop | My laptop (Client, FreeBSD 8.0) > Built-in bge0 link to desktop All the FreeBSD systems (server, desktop and laptop) experience the DNS problem. > Can you use another nameserver? An extern nameserver for testing? Other than the ISP's nameserver and my servers nameserver (which works fine for its master domain) no. Does this help?
