First step - calm down, take a deep breath, and work methodically.

 From your clients, can the contact services by IP address ? Can they 
ping external addresses ?

If they can then it shows your routing and/or NAT is working OK. If 
not, then fix that.

What do your clients have configured for a resolver ? Is it what you 
thought they had configured ?

When you make a query from a client, can you see the query packet on 
the wire with a packet sniffer (I like wireshark, or more normally 
the text-only version tshark) ? If not, then look into why the client 
isn't sending the packet.

Can you see the packet inbound on your gateway (which I assume is 
doing your DNS) with a packet sniffer ? Does it have a DNS service 
running ? Does the DNS service log the query and/or any errors ?

Does the DNS service resolve the address queried ? Does it return the 
result to the client ? Does the client receive it ?



As you can see, most of this does not involve Shorewall - but there 
are steps where packets could be blocked by one device or the other.
