What exactly should the rules look like for a DNS server behind a firewall. When a DNS lookup is done does the workstation doing the lookup every get a direct response from some DNS server on the internet or does it always come from the local DNS server. I ask that because I've heard of high port numbered UDP packets coming back from DNS and I noticed a lot of high udp packets coming back to workstations from outside of my firewall.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest -a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
