One of our D-STAR gateways is behind a corporate firewall that had a rule to drop DNS (port 53) UDP packets that exceeded 512 bytes in length. I was seeing those drops in a syslog ... and some now and then strangeness at the distant end doing the DNS resolution. Removed the rule from the firewall and all is well. Bob W1QA
