The GnatBox provides a minimialist DNS Server ... I wouldn't call it a
DNS Proxy any more than anyother DNS server. While
I use it for economic reasons, there are limitations and shortcomings:
a. No Domain transfer support
b. No way to configure TTL (ugly if you need to support a planned change
to IP addresses)
c. Reverse lookup configuration is not well explained, apparently
incomplete, etc.
d. Spurious invalid domain name messages ... for example my MX records
reference a spam blocking front end service and they work fine when handed
out by the DNS but at various times, I get errors reported.

I don't use the GNATbox forwarding ... my internal DNS server is
configured to use my ISP's server directly so I can't speak to that
function. I use the GNATbox as my public DNS server.
