Your problem probably lies with your ipchains rules. Are you specifying an
interface for the MASQ rules? If so, diald is not getting the http packet
from the LAN machines, but rather is coming up when named tries to find a
domain. That would explain the 20-30 min delay(named's TTL). You could
test this by trying to resolve a domain you've never been to(at least since
the last named restart). Please post your diald.conf as well as your
ipchains configuration. That should narrow things down.
Hope I'm of any help,
Jacob Joseph
