As far as I recall -- though Jacques is really the one to answer here -- Bering uses the same resolver calls as any standard Linux distro. But if you want to try to address the problem at that level, I do suggest you wait for Jacques to reply.
But I suspect a more conventional configuration error of some sort. In responding before, I had assumed that the LEAF router was supposed to be resolving through an external DNS server. You refer here to the "LAN resolver", though, which suggests that you want it to use a host on one of the internal interfaces. So, if you want to explore this possibility ... 1. What resolver address(es) is the LEAF router trying to use? 2. The adjustment you made to the input chain on the resolver should deal with any problems on that chain, but what about the other chains? Also, you have clearly done a lot of customizing to the LEAF setup, so I can't even guess what its iptables rulesets might look like. Without knowing the answer to (1), I don't even know what to ask here with any specificity ... except that if the resolver is on a network configured as a DMZ, there might be a rule that is interfering with access from the router. 3. I doubt that your not specifying the broadcast explicitly is relevant here.
