Yes, the dns cache/server is on a LAN host using another firewall/gateway. The problem turns out to have been an incorrect resolv.conf that I thought I checked, err umm, thought I checked *first*. >> 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 >> link/ether 00:a0:cc:5a:b6:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff >> inet 192.168.9.66/24 scope global eth0 > >Hmmm, normally you use eth0 for your ISP connection, not the masq'ed LAN >connection.

Some time back I learned to bring up secure networks first then insecure. dhcp can't figure this out so if I'm not on static ISP put the internet on eth0. I don't think it makes much difference actually, as long as programs are configured right. I haven't had any other problems anyway. >> 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 >> link/ether 00:a0:cc:d9:21:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff >> inet 10.1.1.1/8 scope global eth1 >> inet 10.0.0.1/8 scope global secondary eth1:1 >> inet 10.0.0.2/8 scope global secondary eth1:2 >> inet 10.0.0.3/8 scope global secondary eth1:3 >> inet 10.0.0.4/8 scope global secondary eth1:4 > >OK, this is a DMZ right.

When I set up apache DMZ vhosts, I like to have them on different IPs, so even if they are on the same computer now, moving them to another computer will be easy. >> 5: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 >> link/ether 00:a0:cc:5b:1c:37 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff >> inet 62.81.93.66/26 scope global eth2 > >OK, this appears to be the default WAN connection.

In the short term, we are changing ISPs and this box will be catching both of them for a spell. I might find an excuse to try iproute2 load balancing. but we won't need it, and the original isp will go away, with the big plus of then being able to fit a video card in this box X-) >> 201.13.105.32/27 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src >> 201.13.105.34 62.81.93.64/26 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src >> 62.81.93.66 192.168.9.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src >> 192.168.9.66 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src >> 10.1.1.1 >> 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo >> default via 62.81.93.65 dev eth2 > >What a routing table!!!

Since somebody unplugged the gateway connection, it just wasn't getting a responce... even though I thought it was looking at the LAN resolver.
