Hello Vasu,

I don't really think there is a Check Point feature you could use as
replacement of PIX's DNS doctoring (if anybody else knows I would be very
interested about it also), but I believe the result of using DNS doctoring
can be achieved using manual NAT rules on Check Point.

A common scenario where you would use DNS doctoring is when you have a
Public server on a DMZ and you would like for the machines on the internal
network to be able to access it using it's domain name, but using an
external DNS for the resolution, which off course resolves a public IP
address. DNS Doctoring will modify the DNS resolution (which again I don't
think is possible using Check Point), but if you create a manual NAT rule on
Check Point that says that whenever the internal network goes to the public
IP of the server on the DMZ, the source is not NATed, but the destination is
NATed to the private IP on the DMZ, the traffic should in fact reach its
destination. Off course this workaround would not affect the output of an
nslookup issued on the internal hosts.

I have never tried this, so I might be completely wrong, I just hope it
works and please if it does let us know, as it would be very usefull when
replacing a PIX with alias commands for a Check Point firewall.

Regards
