Thanks for the quick reply.
The ADSL modem is a modem router. It has a USB and four ethernet ports. My Linux firewall is connected to it via an ethernet cable and is on eth0. hence the 10.x range. Are you saying I've got to configure the ADSL modem router to be a dumb device and so it has to pass the public IP to the USB? interface on the Linux box? (if so i'll have to figure out how the make the ADSL modem do it... any clues here???)

Hi Slugs, I have what is probably an ADSL setup the same as a lot of people.
--public IP--|ADSL|--10.x.x.x--|Linux firewall|--192.168.1.x to internal hosts
If you are using pppoe on linux to authenticate, it would mean the
10.x.x.x address doesn't come into it. The reason being is that the
public ip then gets passed to the interface the modem is connected
too. At which point you'd just allow dns requests in on this interface
on the linux firewall.
