What does your resolv.conf say? Is it pointing to itself? If so, does your ipchains implementation allow itself to use the loopback interface? Another thing to be aware of is that DNS lookups are not: domain -> any but rather "ports greater 1024" -> domain When I did ipchains, the best reference I found was Robert Ziegler's web site and book. Respectively www.linux-firewall-tools.com (follow the link to the script generator) and "Linux Firewalls" New Riders publishing. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
