Not sure if you are aware of this or not but Windows Server
2003 (are you running that?) is configured for EDNS by default. The Pix OS is
incompatible with that out of the box. The newer pix os version have a dns fixup
protocol setting to allow the longer DNS packets through. Just thought you
should be aware if this in case you are not. It basically causes random DNS
query failures and can be more than a little frustrating to troubleshoot unless
you know it's there. You need to set the maximum packet length. Syntax: "fixup
protocol dns maximum-length 1500".

Subject: [IMail Forum] DNS Service Down
I just installed a
new PIX501 on our server. During the configuration - I came across the
IMAIL Monitor Service ( web based ). Really cool set up. However,
after logging in I noticed our DNS service is DOWN - WSAENOTCONN .
Why is this?
Our box is w2K3 and has been working great. This box not only runs IMAIL (
with about 100 domains), but also our web server ( with about 300 + sites
).
Everything appears
to be working correctly on our box - why does the web based IMAIL Monitor
service show our DNS service as being down? What exactly does this
mean?
Thanks!
