When configureing SNF to use dhcp on the internet side and act as a
dhcp-server on the LAN side I would like the dhcp-server to use the
information provided (mainly the adresses for the dns servers) by the
dhcp-client, is this possible ? 

If I configure the interface of eth1 to use dhcp as bootprotocol the
firewall woorks perfectly but when I configure the eth0 interface to act as
a dhcp-server I get an empty statement in the domain-server section of the
dhcpd.conf file resulting in a dead dhcpd. For now I have manually fixed the
dhcpd.conf file so it works but this would of cause be a problem for less
experienced administrators ....

One way to do it would be to have a caching dns in the firewall and
configure the dhcp-server to export the firewall as a dns server for the
clients. This is how I have had it configured before since it removes the
dependency between the information from the internet provider and the
configuration of the internal dhcp-server.
