"Endian Firewall is running a DNS proxy called dnsmasq, which forwards all
requests to the DNS resolvers of your RED uplink. You can configure the IP
address of the Endian firewall interface of the respective zone as DNS resolver
on each of your clients. Then the DNS proxy will be used and you will benefit
from a number of its features. One of the finest features is, that it will serve
names from the hosts file on the firewall. This is very useful if you want to
create hostnames which can be resolved only by your clients but can't set them
up directly on your DNS server. This page allows you to edit this hosts file."
You don't have to use the proxy of course - you can just have dhcp set your ISPs
dns servers for the clients. But then they won't benefit from local name
resolution. The DNS proxy has never caused me problems, btw.

If it happens on a regular basis, it's easier to track down.
I would start by disabling proxy services to see if one of them is causing the
problem: HTTP proxy, DNS proxy, SMTP, etc
I find that the virus scanners aren't stable, and cause problems. So I keep all
of the scanners in the Proxy tab turned off. It's possible that only one of the
scanners was actually causing my problem, but I don't have the time to mess with
it.
