hi there - i'm quite confused.
setting up a local network (ip area 10.151.0.*) with a server used to

to the internet I can ping www.google.de from the server but not

client (host not found). A ping to the nameservers ip run from the
clients
works - so it seems to be a forwarding problem.
I'm a little confused, also. I think from your description that DNS 
for
this client is perhaps not resolving.

What happens when you try this:
   $ host www.google.de
   www.google.de is an alias for www.google.akadns.net.
   www.google.akadns.net has address 216.239.59.99
   $
What happens when you try to `ping 216.239.59.99`..?
$ host -> command not found
Ok. So you should probably `emerge bind-tools` later, then. They're 
always useful to have on a system.

ping ip -> this is working both from server and client.
Well, if both client & server can ping THAT ip (and other external 
ones) it's not a forwarding issue, but a DNS one. I think you need to 
examine /etc/resolv.conf on the client (assuming it's a Gentoo box). 
Assuming both the client & server are Gentoo boxes you should be able 
to use the resolve conf from the server.

HTH,

Stroller.
