I could me misunderstanding, but it sounds like you have a DNS server on a 
different host than your mail server and that Amazon blocks that.  The 
recommendation is to install a DNS server on the *same* host as your mail 
server.  There will be no UDP traffic blocked between your mail server and DNS 
server if they're on the same host because the traffic from DNS server to mail 
server never leaves the box.

Normally DNS is configured to query root servers and other folks DNS servers on 
UPD 53; it's not clear to me if Amazon would be blocking that but I rather 
doubt it, as DNS is pretty much the backbone of the internet.  But even if they 
are, you can configure a DNS server to use TCP 53.  It's not as efficient but 
given that the DNS responses are cached, it's not all that burdensome either.

you did not reab my answer.
I do have the dns server running but my isp does not allow udp port, so i 
cannot point my amazon server to it.

Its not amazons fault. It is URIDB blocking amazons subnets.

This still does not answer my original question.
