You can run can run the MS Caching server atop the Gauntlet box with no
problems. Ensure that the DNS server is configured only as a caching server
pointing to the inside interface of the firewall. On the caching server
properties, if you configure the DNS server to become a slave server, your
worries should be appeased. The slave will only accept responses from
queries from the designated name servers to which they forward queries. A
good reference for MS DNS is "Windows NT DNS" put out by New Riders.
