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.

I'm running a pix 520.

Thanks

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe,"
a part limited in time and space. 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. "

- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
