thanks to K.R. for the named cleanup. I tried that, but to no avail. I suspect it's a nat issue because the source packets aren't matching the destination packets. rdr/pass rules seem to be working because i'm getting a response from the internal DNS, when I nslookup on the router. I even tried nslookup from a different network, but i'm just getting time out. How to do nat the public IP to the internal DNS and if I can, do I do it for $ext_if and $int_if of the router?
