We are running a firewall-1 v.4.1 in a Nokiaip330.Ipso
3.4.

Our network is composed of 1 external dns server
(public zone) and 1 internal server (trusted zone)

I've detected following entries in firewall logs.Is
this normal behaviour? I ve checked in Properties in
Policy Editor and
"Accept domain name over udp"
"Accept UDP replies"
both are allowed.

Suspicious? Log entries

source: some.public.ip.address (random port) >
destination : external.fw1.ip.address (udp/53)
action:allowed

I did a nslookup to my fw and it replied but i m not
getting a response for a regular dns query.

Can anyone explain this behaviour?

i guess for now i will set the follwoing rules:

Any -> Firewall -> any -> drop
Any -> internal_dns(public.ip) -> udp/53 -> allow
internal_dns(internal.ip) -> Any -> udp/53 -> allow

Thanks
